International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology26(2),226–229(1976), DOI10.1099/00207713-26-2-226. Publisher primary abstract/byline T. E. Patt, G. C. Cole and R. S. Hanson verified. Original description of pink rod-shaped isolates, type Methylobacterium organophilum and facultative carbon-source use. Historical description only: no assertion that every current member oxidizes methane, and no current methane-use claim inferred.
Primary maintained genus record: validly published name, type species Methylobacterium organophilum; original effective publication Patt, Cole and Hanson1976. Used for current naming/type facts, not an immutable genus-wide metabolic phenotype.
Microbiology and Immunology34(2),99–119(1990), DOI10.1111/j.1348-0421.1990.tb00996.x. Published title: Proposals of Sphingomonas paucimobilis gen. nov. and comb. nov., Sphingomonas parapaucimobilis sp. nov., Sphingomonas yanoikuyae sp. nov., Sphingomonas adhaesiva sp. nov., Sphingomonas capsulata comb. nov., and two genospecies of the genus Sphingomonas. Original comparative taxonomy: partial16S-rRNA sequences, sphingoglycolipids and ubiquinoneQ10 support the proposed genus and type species. The primary publisher's full byline explicitly names Eiko Yabuuchi.
Primary curated species record781021, DOI10.83108/rn.781021: type species of Sphingomonas; former combination Pseudomonas paucimobilis is a homotypic synonym. ATCC29837, DSM1098 and NCTC11030 are type-strain deposits. Original combination and1990 transfer distinguished.
Primary curated species record: accepted name within Pseudomonas, type-strain deposits include ATCC19310 and NCPPB281; effective publication1902. Record used for naming/type facts, not a universal host-range claim.
Primary curated genus record: validly published conserved name, type species Pseudomonas aeruginosa; Judicial Opinion5(1951) cited under notes. Species list includes Pseudomonas syringae. Accessed3 November2026; no fixed species count inferred.
Primary FDA PDF, cover January2026 Edition; authors p.3 Guodong Zhang, Martine Ferguson, Robert J.Blodgett(ret.). SectionD, Calculating and Recording Counts, pp.6–8; one-plate example2.2a p.7 and Recording counts p.8: concentration is colony count divided by original-sample equivalent volume; clump/spreader interpretation and zero-count reporting. Search-engine title still says May2025, but current PDF cover/revision history establishes January2026. No universal countable-range rule asserted.
Direct primary curated genus record: validly published genus Sphingomonas Yabuuchi and others1990; classification and type species Sphingomonas paucimobilis. No current species count, generic risk classification or universal ecological phenotype inferred.
Primary indexed Abstract and byline: F Clavel and colleagues,1986. Abstract identifies HIV-2 as previously LAV-2; reports cloning of its complete9.5-kilobase genome and restriction-site polymorphism between isolates. Initial-only identity preserved; no inferred biography.
Firsthand interview of Frank Fenner, recorded in 1992 and 1993 by the Australian Academy of Science. Locators: Smallpox: certifying eradication; Taxonomy of viruses; Scientific writings. Fenner describes chairing the certification commission, presenting the eradication report in May 1980, and assembling the historical record. The introductory page explicitly names and links the portrait. No operational pathogen methods used.
Originating MMWR report,5June1981,30:250–252: five biopsy-confirmed cases across three Los Angeles hospitals, October1980–May1981; three tested patients had depressed in-vitro proliferative responses; contemporary cause not established.
Dated14January2025; Overview and How it progresses: AIDS is the most severe stage of HIV infection; treatment can prevent progression. Only qualitative stage descriptions cited. Current page has an apparent CD4-count unit issue; numerical diagnostic thresholds are not reproduced.
Nature381(6584),661–666(1996); DOI10.1038/381661a0. Abstract: CD4 plus additional host factor, CC-CKR-5 for primary macrophage-tropic envelope-mediated entry, distinction from fusin.
PNAS98(2001),3460–3465; DOI10.1073/pnas.051634598. Original byline verifies Barbara J.May; Abstract,Introduction and Table1: avian isolate Pm70,2014predicted coding sequences and candidate virulence/iron-uptake functions. Original institutional PDF pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/members/lobry/articles/MBE_1996_13_660.kim/Pmultocida.pdf . Predictions not treated as knockout validation or all-strain universals.

Abstract: oligonucleotide and peptide maps of A/Cal/10/78 support different parental origins for different influenza genome segments; inference distinguishes reassortment from sequential mutation.
Agency page dated26September2025: HA/NA subtype notation and reassortment. No changing seasonal strain counts, treatment recommendations or current vaccine composition used.
Ninth Report, historical report used for established molecular properties: influenza A eight negative-sense RNA segments and envelope glycoproteins. Historical genus labels are not adopted as current taxonomy.
Official report: Virion/Morphology, Nucleic acid and Proteins sections. Vesicular stomatitis Indiana/New Jersey viruses distinguished; bullet-shaped envelope and single negative-sense RNA. Virus name not treated as a unique formal species designation.
Definition: degree of pathogenicity, with host damage and invasion among the possible indicators.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
    Figure 5. . You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally.
