我国放线菌系统学研究历史、现状及未来发展趋势

Actinobacterial systematics in China: past, present and future

摘要:

放线菌系统学是以实现对放线菌进行分类、鉴定、命名为目标的基础学科, 因此它是放线菌资源研究和开发利用的重要理论基础。自20世纪50年代起, 我国放线菌系统学的奠基人阎逊初院士及同事们就开创了我国放线菌系统学的研究, 经过近六十年、几代人的艰苦努力, 我国放线菌系统学工作者在国际微生物系统学权威杂志(International Journal of Systematics and Evolutionary of Microbiology, IJSEM)发表的有关放线菌新分类单元的论文数量连续十年排名稳居前列, 部分学者在国际上发表的某些改良的分类技术和新修订的分类系统等为国际同行所广泛采用, 这些均标志着我国放线菌系统学研究在国际上已成为微生物系统学界的一支重要力量。本文全面介绍了我国放线菌系统学研究的发展历程, 同时对其发展现状给予理性分析, 并就未来发展方向进行了展望。

Abstract:

Actinobacterial systematics is the theoretical basis for the research and development of actinobacterial resources, and has become an independent subject, which includes actinobacterial classification, identification and nomenclature. Academician Shun-Chu Yan and his colleagues initiated actinobacterial systematics research in China since the 1950’s. With the efforts by several generations for over 60 years, Chinese scientists have published many new taxa in the past 10 years in International Journal of Systematics and Evolutionary of Microbiology, one of the top level journals in this field. Some new taxonomic technology and also the newly updated classification system done by some Chinese scientists have been adopted and cited; all these reflect that Chinese research teams on actinobacterial systematics have become an indispensable reference in the world of microbial systematics. This review will comprehensively introduce the origins and early history of Chinese actinobacterial systematics, analyse its present status, and also give its future directions.
