Abstract: The current special issue of Systematic and Applied Microbiology was planned to offer an overview of some of the future perspectives that challenges both taxonomy and the characterization of the uncultured diversity naturally occurring in the biosphere. From the different manuscripts of this issue it is quite clear that generally pure cultures are needed for a valid description of new taxa of prokaryotes. As pointed out in the first contribution by Rosselló-Móra and Amann [7], the history of species classification has been linked to the technological developments to retrieve information on the organisms. Of especial relevance had been molecular methods producing genetic and genomic data that can be used to establish taxa boundaries. The retrieval of genomic information by using Next Generation Sequencing methods (NGS) has started a revolution in the study of species diversity. Almost complete genome sequences may take supremacy in circumscribing species and even higher taxa. Whitman [10] discusses the possibility that DNA and genome sequences could complement and even in some cases substitute the pure cultures...
