Alloprevotella. Consequently, we assign it to the placeholder genus g__F0040. If the organism had been assigned
a binomial species name such as Prevotella oralitaxus str. F0040 we would assign it to the placeholder genus
g__Prevotella_A to indicate it is not a true Prevotella species, but that there are representative genomes that
have been assigned to a species. A strain identifier is used as a placeholder for the genus name when there is
no existing genus name and no binomially named representative genome. For example, the genome GCF_000318095.2
has the NCBI organism name Prevotella sp. oral taxon 473 str. F0040 and is assigned to the genus Alloprevotella
in NCBI. However, this genome appears to be neither assigned to Prevotella, Alloprevotella or another closely
related genus Prevotellamassilia in GTDB. Consequently, we assign it to the placeholder genus g__F0040. If the
organism had been assigned a binomial species name such as Prevotella oralitaxus str. F0040, and it is not part
of true Prevotella in GTDB, we would assign it to the placeholder genus g__Prevotella_A to indicate it is not a
true Prevotella species, but that there are representative genomes that have been assigned to a species.
