Curation

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

GROUND_AS_PARENT 2026-08-16 · claude-opus-5
BTO:0000316 'culture medium' attached as a parent, not adopted as the identity (NARROW). Host-taxon reversal (#114): NOT_APPLICABLE on the grounds that Bacteria is a taxon. The taxon term is indeed not a habitat, but the CONCEPT is 'Engineered > Lab culture > Culture media > Bacteria' — a bacterial culture medium, which is a habitat and one of the better-defined ones in the corpus. BTO:0000316 'culture medium' becomes the parent, matching the treatment the algae and fungi culture media already have. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.5871068dfe)
