Early in 2020 the LPSN website was moved to a new production system. The old version is still accessible from this website.

In the new and up-to-date system, pages on individual taxon names can be found via the taxonomy search, which is shown on each page, by the general search or by browsing the hierarchical classification. Taxon names of rarely used categories are listed on a separate page.

Pages for individual taxon names contain links to child taxa, if any, siblings, if any, parent taxa, and synonyms. The notes may also include links to other taxon names of interest.

Some examples for LPSN taxon-name pages:

entire category: genus
individual genus: Oscillospira
individual class: Actinobacteria
individual species: Mangrovibacter plantisponsor
individual subspecies: Bacillus subtilis subsp. stercoris corrig.

Additionally, a variety of pages dedicated to special topics are provided. An alphabetic listing of these pages is found here:
