Inofficial R client for the DSMZ's Bacterial Diversity Metadatabase (former contact: @katrinleinweber). https://api.bacdive.dsmz.de/client_examples seems to be the official alternatives.

They don't have BacDive as a source currently. Is BacDiveR 100% redundant, 100% separate, or should some of our functionality maybe be PR'ed to them, while we focus on unique functions here?

[x] ask them about BacDive & PNU

Taxize focuses on taxonomy, so PNU seems more useful to integrate there. BacDive(R) seems to be of secondary concern there, at max as an imported package.
