We ...Microbial taxonomy is critical for describing ecosystem composition, yet the link between taxonomy and properties of microbes, such as their cellular architecture, remains poorly defined. We hypothesized that the cellular architecture represents microbial niche adaptation. We used cryo-electron microscopy and tomography to analyze microbial morphology in order to associate cellular architecture with phylogeny and genomic contents. As a model system, we chose the core rumen microbiome and imaged a large isolate collection covering 90% of its richness at the order level. Based on quantifications of several morphological features, we found that the visual similarity of microbiota is significantly related to their phylogenetic distance. Up to the level, closely related microbes have similar cellular architectures, which are highly correlated with genome similarity. However, in more distantly related bacteria, the correlation both with taxonomy and genome similarity is lost. This is the first comprehensive study of microbial cellular architecture and our results highlight that structure remains an important parameter in classification of microorganisms, along with functional parameters such as metabolomics. Furthermore, the high-quality images presented in this study represent a reference database for the identification of bacteria in anaerobic ecosystems.
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
