Supergroups of eukaryotes through a biotechnologist's look. The system of eukaryotes and the need for a taxonomic/biotechnological interface
Eukaryotes represent a group of rich biotechnological potential, and its classification having high heuristic power and great predictive capabilities is needed by the biotechnological community. The requirements for biological classification by applied sciences can be reduced to 1) the stability of the classification system and 2) its adequacy to the nature relationships. The present paper provides a retrospective review of eukaryotic megataxonomy, assesses the stability of current system, and outlines approaches to building an interface that ensures a crosstalk of taxonomic and biotechnological communities.
