Abstract
A review discusses the classification of Bacillus species using a variety of instrument-based physicochem. techniques for whole cell anal. These techniques include pyrolysis mass spectrometry, matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time of flight mass spectrometry, and Fourier transform IR spectrometry. The unifying features of these techniques include std., rapid and simple sample prepn., the analyses involve rapid, automated processing with high throughput, and they yield complex quant. fingerprints that reflect aspects of whole cell compn.
