Lactobacillus acidophilus
Species in genus Lactobacillus, family Lactobacillaceae (order Lactobacillales). (from NCBI Taxonomy lineage)
Warning: This taxon splits 1→many across databases. Read the panels carefully.

GTDB
Lactobacillus acidophilus
id: s__Lactobacillus acidophilus · GTDB R232
At its weakest, linked by GTDB's own NCBI species id rather than the genome's raw one.

SILVA
Lactobacillus acidophilus
id: JN188382 · SILVA 138.2
Linked by name — the SILVA table we ingest carries no NCBI taxid, so the binomial is the only join.

Greengenes2
- Lactobacillus acidophilus
- Lactobacillus crispatus
id: Lactobacillus acidophilus / Lactobacillus crispatus · Greengenes2 2024.09
Linked via GTDB R220 genome accessions — the same physical genomes, not a name match.
d__Bacteria; p__Bacillota_I; c__Bacilli_A; o__Lactobacillales; f__Lactobacillaceae; g__Lactobacillus; s__Lactobacillus acidophilus
Warning: Greengenes2 2024.09 places this taxon's 13 genomes in 2 species.
eHOMD
release 4.2Lactobacillus acidophilus
id: HMT-529 · eHOMD 4.2
Linked by NCBI taxid — eHOMD records the same id NCBI does.

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.
