id: s__Prochlorococcus_B marinus_B / s__Prochlorococcus_A marinus_AF / s__Prochlorococcus_A sp002026005 · GTDB R232

Database's species id. At its weakest, linked by GTDB's own NCBI species id rather than the genome's raw one.

d__Bacteria;p__Cyanobacteriota;c__Cyanobacteriia;o__PCC-6307;f__Cyanobiaceae;g__Prochlorococcus_B;s__Prochlorococcus_B marinus_B

GTDB R232 places this taxon's 180 genomes in 7 species.

Split up: GTDB gives this taxon more names in a later release, across R207, R214, R220, R226, R232.

SILVA

Release

Prochlorococcus marinus

id: FW306008 · SILVA 138.2

Release

Prochlorococcus_A marinus_G

+4 more — see all names below

id: Prochlorococcus_A marinus_G (+4) · Greengenes2 2024.09

Genome accession. Linked via GTDB R220 genome accessions — the same physical genomes, not a name match.

d__Bacteria; p__Cyanobacteriota; c__Cyanobacteriia; o__PCC-6307; f__Cyanobiaceae; g__Prochlorococcus_A; s__Prochlorococcus_A marinus_G

Renamed: Greengenes2 gives this taxon a different name in 2022.10, 2024.09.

eHOMD

Release 4.2

No record in eHOMD 4.2.

Each panel shows one release. Switch a release to see how that database's answer changes — the taxon is held fixed by NCBI taxid, so every panel describes the same organism. Each panel also says how it was linked; how the databases are joined explains the routes.

Each column is the release its box shows. marks the first rank at which a database's name differs from NCBI's, by exact text; a suffix such as _A counts. SILVA's path and eHOMD's columns end at genus, so their species row is blank; the box above names the species. Levels a source labels outside these seven ranks are in the API's ranks and not drawn here.
