Evidence codes - IDA: Inferred from Direct Assay (first time in publication); TAS: Traceable Author Statement (i.e. a direct report exists in the literature); NAS: Non-traceable Author Statement (i.e. not directly observed for living, isolated sample, but based on a generally accepted property for the species, or anecdotal evidence). These evidence codes are from a living isolate by one of the authors or an expert mentioned in the acknowledgements.
