Global catalogue of microorganisms (gcm): a comprehensive database and information retrieval, analysis, and visualization system for microbial resources

Table 5 Result summary of species name check

Organism type	Species names	Un-matched species name	Percentage of un-match
Archaea	1399	32	2.30%
Microalgae	1457	360	24.70%
Fungi	20719	698	3.40%
Bacteria	12855	1098	8.50%
Total	36430	2188	6.00%

This table provides comparative results of the species names within GCM with public microbial nomenclature database. Species2000, NCBI taxonomy, LPSN and Mycobank were used as reference databases. The average percentage of unmatched names is 6%, while the archaea and fungi showed lower than average percentage of unmatched names. The percentage of unmatched names is relatively high for microalgae, possibly due to the irregular naming for microalgae.
