The print reference is still needed! From the reviews of the third edition: “This encyclopedia is an absolute treasure for practicing bacteriologists. … All articles have extensive tables on the organisms discussed, and full-color illustrations where needed. … The Prokaryotes will be particularly useful for bacteriologists whose research leads them to an unknown prokaryote or prokaryotic process; they can become knowledgeable on that microbe in one sitting, with ample references to lead them further. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Universities with extensive prokaryotic research efforts; upper-level undergraduates through professionals/practitioners.” (R Seelke, Choice, Vol. 45 (1), 2007) The Prokaryotes Dworkin, M.
