About the records from DSMZ (see source)

Names of prokaryotes are defined as being validly published by the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria. Validly published are all names which are included in the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names and the names subsequently published in the International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology (IJSB) and, from January 2000, in the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (IJSEM) as original articles or in the validation lists.

Catalogue of Life


This package contains the complete taxonomic tree of almost all microorganisms (~65,000 species) from the authoritative and comprehensive Catalogue of Life (http://www.catalogueoflife.org). The Catalogue of Life is the most comprehensive and authoritative global index of species currently available.

Click here for more information about the included taxa. The Catalogue of Life releases updates annually; check which version was included in this package with catalogue_of_life_version().
