Bergey's Manual of Systematics of Archaea and Bacteria (BMSAB) is a reference work aimed at undergraduates, graduate students, researchers, professors and experienced professionals at all levels. About a hundred new genera and 600+ new species have been described per year for each of the last 5 years. To remain abreast of this explosion in knowledge of the microbial world, an electronic manual with frequent updates is necessary. The BMSAB is an essential tool for anyone at the forefront of research in microbiology.
Bergey's is the most complete and authoritative description of bacterial and archaeal diversity. This edition provides descriptions of the taxonomy, systematics, ecology, physiology and other biological properties of all described prokaryotic taxa.
This is a new, unique, single point of online reference for microbiology with over 1,750 articles – equivalent to over 8 volumes in print.

The Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) is a free, online collaborative encyclopedia. The goal of the EoL is to compile and make available over the Internet as much information as possible about the world’s species of plants, animals and microorganisms.

Science.gov searches over 60 databases and over 2,200 scientific websites to provide users with access to more than 200 million pages of authoritative federal science information including research and development results.

This site contains a variety of educational and supporting materials for students and teachers of microbiology. You will find information about microorganisms, extremophiles and extreme habitats, as well as information about the ecology, diversity and evolution of micro-organisms for students, K-12 teachers, university faculty, and the general public.

The Virtual Cell Animation Collection is part of North Dakota State University's Molecular and Cellular Biology Education Project. It contains animations which can be used as primary or reference resources.
