For the identification of new yeast species from nature we use a new polyphasic approach [452] (1) Species delimitation using RAPD-PCR or... 

The Debye-Scherrer and other variations of the powder method are very widely used, especially in metallurgy. The powder method is, of course, the only method that can be employed when a single-crystal specimen is not available, and this is the case more often than not in metallurgical work. The method is especially suited for determining lattice parameters with high precision and for the identification of phases, whether they occur alone or in mixtures such as polyphase alloys, corrosion products, refractories, and rocks. These and other uses of the powder method will be fully described in later chapters.

This revised software, now called BioloMICS, was first developed as an MS-Windows client/server multi-user application (Robert and Szoke, 2003). It has since been developed further and can be used for retrieval, management, and analysis (e.g. identification, classification and statistical summary) of any biological material or research experiments. In 2000, another software package called BioloMICSWeb (Robert, 2000) was introduced to complement the first version and allow online Internet publication of data prepared with BioloMICS. This package also permits real polyphasic identifications of yeasts to be performed online against the species or strain data-bases (see http //www.cbs.knaw.nl/Yeast.htm 6800 strains, 901 species, 350 characters Robert et al., 2004), Penicillium (see http //www.cbs.knaw.nl/Penicillium.htm 58 species, +60 characters Samson and Frisvad, 2004) or Phaeoacremonium (see http //www.cbs.knaw.nl/Phaeoacremonium.htm 22 species, 40 characters Mostert et al., 2005).
