Curation

What a curator decided about this record, and why. A record built from several source concepts can carry one decision per concept.

CONFIRM_UNGROUNDED 2026-08-14 · claude-opus-5
Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. Grounding-cohort review (#62): was FOODON:03401156 '50122200 - aquatic plants prepared/processed (gs1 gpc)', a UNSPSC commodity code for prepared food. An aquatic plant as an isolation source is a living host, not a prepared foodstuff, and no term in the slice names it. Category set to HOST_ASSOCIATED (#110): the curated definition parents this to ENVO:01001000 'environmental system determined by an organism' - a living macrophyte host - and 31 of the 33 records under that parent are HOST_ASSOCIATED. (source concept habitatmech:BACDIVE.38260eea00)
DEFINED 2026-10-04 · codex-gpt-5
Defined as 'aquatic macrophyte-associated environment' under ENVO:01001000 'environmental system determined by an organism'. Rationale corrected under #1342; definition, label, synonym and genus retained from claude-opus-5's 2026-08-28 curation based on the committed deep-research report, read in full. Aquatic bryophytes are plants: NCBITaxon:3208 (Bryophyta) lies within Viridiplantae and Embryophyta (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?id=3208). Green algae are also Viridiplantae; macroalgae must not all be described as non-plants. Retain ENVO:01001000 rather than narrow to ENVO:01001001 'plant-associated environment' because the source includes seaweed without an identified algal lineage (https://bacdive.dsmz.de/strain/158685); that evidence does not establish that every macrophyte host is a green plant. This wording correction does not resolve the digester and field-water source-scope finding in #1341 or endorse those associations as living-host observations. No new paid research was commissioned.
