Strange taxanomy based on Silva database

Interesting... indeed this appears to exist in SILVA 138.1:

However, it does also exist in the GTDB taxonomy, as of R89, but not later releases:
https://gtdb.ecogenomic.org/taxon_history/?from=R80&to=R202&query=f__Fokiniaceae

In later releases of GTDB it is corrected to "Midichloriaceae".

So this is probably an issue of SILVA adopting the GTDB taxonomy but being slightly behind the latest GTDB release...

Thank you very much for the check, yes it's probably as you say....they corrected the error in the latest release of GTDB but SILVA is still behind...
