EXPLANATION:
Xxxx or Xxxxnum -- Acronym unique to a species and will not change.
A,B,C,......... -- the UPPERCASE letters designate a strain and when combined with the species acronym, it
                   is unique at the strain level (e.g., 'Ecol_A' always stands for
                   E. coli K12 and 'Ecol_F' for E. coli CFT073).
a,b,c,......... -- the lowercase letters designate different copies of the proteins (paralogs) within
                   the same strain.
