A total of 308 bacteria were isolated from oil-storage tanks. Of these 20% were unidentifiable, even at the generic level. A numerical scoring method differentiated between the isolates and was used to estimate the diversity of the bacterial communities in the tanks over a period of 11 months. Although the scoring method suggested a higher diversity than did conventional identification, there was some consistency in the results produced by the two approaches. It is suggested that a scoring method based on only nine tests could be useful for estimating and comparing bacterial diversity in other habitats.
从储油罐中分离出了 308 株细菌，其中 20%的细菌即使在属的水平上也无法鉴定。一种数值评分方法可对分离株进行区分，并用于在 11 个月的时间内估计罐内细菌群落的多样性。虽然该评分方法表明多样性高于传统鉴定，但两种方法的结果仍具有一定的一致性。因此，建议使用仅基于 9 项测试的评分方法来估计和比较其他生境中的细菌多样性。
