abbreviation varchar 255  √  null

species varchar 255 A type of organism is always
uniquely identified by genus+species. When mapping from the NCBI
taxonomy names.dmp file, the unique-name column must be used where it
is present, as the name column is not always unique (eg environmental
samples). If a particular strain or subspecies is to be represented,
this is appended onto the species name. Follows standard NCBI taxonomy
