GTDB

Release

Bacillus_A cereus

+37 more — see all names below

id: s__Bacillus_A cereus · GTDB R232

Exact taxid. Linked by NCBI taxid — GTDB records the same id NCBI does.

d__Bacteria;p__Bacillota;c__Bacilli;o__Bacillales;f__Bacillaceae_G;g__Bacillus_A;s__Bacillus_A cereus

Renamed: GTDB gives this taxon a different name in R207, R214, R220, R226, R232.

SILVA

Release

No record in SILVA 138.2.

Greengenes2

Release

Bacillus_A anthracis

id: Bacillus_A anthracis · Greengenes2 2024.09

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

d__Bacteria; p__Bacillota_I; c__Bacilli_A; o__Bacillales_B_310392; f__Bacillaceae_G; g__Bacillus_A; s__Bacillus_A anthracis

Only 1 genome — below the threshold for detecting a split, so “current” here means unverified, not confirmed.

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.

Lineage by rank

Rank	NCBI	GTDB R232	Greengenes2 2024.09
domain	Bacteria	Bacteria	Bacteria
phylum	Bacillota	Bacillota	first rank that differs from NCBI: Bacillota_I
class	Bacilli	Bacilli	Bacilli_A
order	Caryophanales	first rank that differs from NCBI: Bacillales	Bacillales_B_310392
family	Bacillaceae	Bacillaceae_G	Bacillaceae_G
genus	Bacillus	Bacillus_A	Bacillus_A
species	Bacillus sp. (in: firmicutes)	Bacillus_A cereus	Bacillus_A anthracis

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.
