Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Deinococcus murrayi” is species of bacterium. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Deinococcus, murrayi and species, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA practical orientation to terminology and classification, particularly when read beside dated observations, specimens or technical literature. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2011, 1186, 1471—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. For this dossier, Deinococcus, murrayi and species is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “species of bacterium” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 8, 2021. The linked authority identifier is Q16955593. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2011, 1186 and 1471.

Critical limits

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.
