This view has 230 main fields arranged in 10 sections (which themselves may contain subsections - only exception is the section references). Please see the table below for more details.

The result contains only fields with valid content. If a data field within BacDive is not filled with content this field is omitted in the response. This behavior resembles the setup of the BacDive's strain detail view in the portal. Thus the retrieved result may contain less fields than specified in the table of all data fields that are reachable by the web service.

The sections are shown always, even when empty. When a subsection is empty, it is also ommited. Most of the subsections (with some exceptions, for example the subsection strains) may contain one or more entries. Beyond the main fields, every entry in the subsections has a field ID_reference holding the ID of the reference. If the reference is text mined the subsection will contain a field text_mined with the value true (if the field text_mined has the value false, then it is ommited).

All references in the result are summed up in the section references.
