Curation

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

  1. CONFIRM_UNGROUNDED 2026-08-12 · claude-opus-5

    Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. GOLD's Host-associated > Microbial > Bacteria: bacteria acting as host for another microbe. No environment term exists for a microbial host; ENVO's organism-associated terms cover plants and animals only. ENVO term request. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.029baaef9e)

  2. DEFINED 2026-08-16 · claude-opus-5

    Defined as 'bacterium-associated environment' under ENVO:01001000 'environmental system determined by an organism'. The habitat is the host clade, and it is the entire content of the concept: GOLD organises host-associated isolates by host and every anatomical path hangs off it. Not grounded to the parent, because every clade would then merge onto one record. Same pattern ENVO already has at plant-, animal- and fungi-associated environment. GOLD's child of Microbial. Parented to the organism root here because its natural parent, microbe-associated environment, is requested in this same batch and does not exist yet — editors should re-parent it if both are minted.
