Abstract
This chapter presents a system of classification that is designed as an aid to determine the taxonomic position and relationships of the genera, active and inactive, that have been used for the transformations of steroids. Generally, the same groupings or categories have been used for classifications of bacteria and fungi as have been used for plants. The classes, orders, families, genera, and species in the various tables are listed alphabetically for convenience and, therefore, may not be in the same sequence as would be found in various published systems of taxonomy. The chapter presents the table II that is a taxonomic listing for reference purposes containing all cultures reported in the literature and U.S. patents through January, 1964. This spectrum of genera encompasses all five classes of microorganisms, the Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes, Fungi Imperfecti, Phycomycetes, and Schizomycetes, 23 out of 49 major orders, 292 different genera, and 1216 different species. The most widely screened taxonomic class has been the Fungi Imperfecti. 111 of the 292 genera listed in the table and 534 of the 1216 species are members of the Fungi Imperfecti.
