id: s__Treponema_B denticola / s__Treponema_B denticola_A · GTDB R232
Database's species id. At its weakest, linked by GTDB's own NCBI species id rather than the genome's raw one.

Warning: GTDB R232 places this taxon's 62 genomes in 2 species.
SILVA
Treponema denticola
id: KP101527 · SILVA 138.2
Walked up to species. At its weakest, linked by walking up 1 level from a strain or subspecies record to the species.

Greengenes2
Treponema_B_986141 putidum
id: Treponema_B_986141 putidum · Greengenes2 2024.09
Genome accession. Linked via GTDB R220 genome accessions — the same physical genomes, not a name match.
d__Bacteria; p__Spirochaetota; c__Spirochaetia; o__Treponematales; f__Treponemataceae; g__Treponema_B_986141; s__Treponema_B_986141 putidum
Only 4 genomes — 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 4.2Treponema denticola
id: HMT-584 · eHOMD 4.2
Exact taxid. Linked by NCBI taxid — eHOMD records the same id NCBI does.
Bacteria;Spirochaetota;Spirochaetia;Spirochaetales;Treponemataceae;Treponema
Only 1 genome — below the threshold for detecting a split, so “current” here means unverified, not confirmed.
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.
