The public source identifies “Bombella intestini” as species of Alphaproteobacteria. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Bombella, intestini and species.
Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Bombella intestini”, the useful work is to connect “species of Alphaproteobacteria” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 28, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q25840450. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2016 and 1371.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
