BacDive Genomes with Phenotype Annotations
This dataset bundles bacterial genomes downloaded from NCBI (linked to BacDive strain records) together with the BacDive phenotypic metadata — providing a paired genome ↔ phenotype resource for bacterial trait prediction.

Note: Some columns appear duplicated (Cell shape, Gram stain, Motility, Cell length, Cell width, Temperature) — this is an artifact of an upstream join. Either copy can be used.
Genome ↔ Phenotype Linkage
The CSV does not contain a direct GCA accession column. To link a genome to its BacDive entry, join via:
- Strain designation: match
strain_number_header(e.g. "DSM 9849") to the genome's strain inassembly_data_report.jsonl - Species name: match
speciesto NCBI organism (less precise — same species often has many strains) - NCBI taxonomy ID: BacDive entries include
NCBI tax id(in original BacDive JSON) → matchable against NCBI assembly metadata
Source
- Genomes: Downloaded from NCBI Datasets API (
ncbi datasets download genome accession ...) on 2025-04-11 - Phenotype data: BacDive (https://bacdive.dsmz.de/) — Bacterial Diversity Metadatabase, operated by DSMZ
- Genome list: Derived from BacDive strain records with available type-strain or representative NCBI assemblies
