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 2026-08-21 · codex-gpt-5
Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. NCBITaxon:2836 'Bacillariophyta' kept as an xref. Non-habitat screen review (#108): Host-associated > Algae > Diatoms denotes diatoms acting as microbial hosts. The organism is the habitat; the taxon class is evidence about the host and remains an xref rather than the record identity. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.1276bea544)
DEFINED 2026-08-24 · codex-gpt-5
Defined as 'diatom-associated environment' under ENVO:01001000 'environmental system determined by an organism'. Definition curated from the committed alga-associated research report and cross-checked against its green- and brown-alga sibling reports. Diatoms are the 218-assertion GOLD child of Algae; ENVO has no diatom- or general alga-associated environment, plant-associated environment excludes Bacillariophyta, and the Bacillariophyta taxon remains an xref rather than a habitat identity. The GOLD hierarchy separately preserves alga-associated environment as the immediate HabitatMech parent.
