DATABASE_MATCH via CultureMech

Imported from CultureMech pipeline, quality=DIRECT_MATCH

DATABASE_MATCH via MIM curation (#320)

identifier/ontology_id CHEBI:85146 ('carboxymethylcellulose') -> CHEBI:234035 ('carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt'). The record's own cas_rn 9004-32-4 is registered by ChEBI against CHEBI:234035, which is the sodium salt of the term the record previously carried. Curation decision on #320: where the CAS names a more specific FORM than the label, the CAS governs — the recipe is taken to mean the substance actually weighed out. These surfaced as 'unrelated' in the ancestry triage only because ChEBI does not model salt-of / hydrate-of / racemate-of as subsumption, the same gap #342 recorded for hydrates.

2026-08-13T00:00:00+00:00 reground_cas_specific_form REGROUNDED_TO_CAS_SPECIFIC_FORM identifier/ontology_id CHEBI:85146 -> CHEBI:234035 'carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt' (#320); the record's CAS 9004-32-4 denotes the sodium salt. mapping_quality -> SYNONYM_MATCH.
2026-08-18T00:00:00+00:00 merge_cmc_records MERGED_FROM Absorbed 'Carboxymethyl cellulose (sodium salt)' (#394). The two were crossed: the generic-looking record held the SALT's term (CHEBI:234035) while the salt-labelled record held FOODON:03460374. Codex read the four source strings behind this record's occurrences and they are genuinely mixed — 2 plain ('Carboxymethyl cellulose', KOMODO 1111 and DSMZ 1111) and 2 explicitly sodium salt ('Carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium salt', JCM 1052; 'Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), sodium salt', DSMZ 1684) — and DSMZ 1111's own prep note specifies the sodium salt. CultureBotHT's compounds_to_cas.csv maps BOTH the plain and the sodium name to the same CAS 9004-32-4, so the upstream conflation is already there. Resolved under the orderability rule: an ingredient maps to a specific chemical someone can order, picking one by convention when sources disagree. CHEBI:234035 carries cas:9004-32-4 — the product a lab buys — while the plain term CHEBI:85146 carries cas:9000-11-7, a different purchase. Both labels remain resolvable as synonyms.
2026-08-18T00:00:00+00:00 add_supplied_form ADDED_SUPPLIED_FORM Recorded the purchasable form separately from identity. The record's identity question (#394) was settled by CAS, but that put procurement detail into the mapping. supplied_form carries it instead, so the identifier is free to optimise for how the node reads in the KG.
2026-08-27T03:16:39.518508+00:00 refresh_occurrence_statistics CORRECTED occurrence_statistics 4/4 -> 7/7 (media_count/total_occurrences), derived from distinct CultureMech recipe ids in the #337 occurrence table. The prior values came from the importer retired in #453, whose media_count counted a list truncated to 50 examples (#449).

2026-08-30T04:48:06.233536+00:00 claude_culturemech_alias_backfill ADDED_SYNONYMS Added 1 CultureMech recipe surface form(s) that folded onto this record's published label but were absent from MIM's label index, so CultureMech could not resolve them: 'Carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium salt' (x1 CultureMech mentions). Source: culturemech:output/ingredient_occurrences.tsv.
2026-09-02T17:40:44.716277+00:00 claude_sssom_surface_form_backfill ADDED_SYNONYMS Recovered 1 surface form(s) that the published SSSOM `other` carried but no curated record did, so a rebuild would have dropped them from KGX: 'Carmellose'. Tokens already present on the kg-microbe ontology node were left out as redundant (#520).
2026-09-09T00:00:00+00:00 fix_kg_microbe_node_id_drift CORRECTED kg_microbe_node_id CHEBI:85146 -> CHEBI:234035 (#554). The compatibility node id lagged a same-prefix identifier correction; the downstream node id must match the curated identifier unless a record intentionally crosses CURIE prefixes.
