List of Genus Names?
Does anyone know where to find a list of genus names and species? This is probably stupid of me, but do all genera have various species? I know when standing alone the genus name should be lower case, but when I come across a bacterial-sounding name, I am not sure what to do with it sometimes and cannot always tell from my web search.
For example: staphylococcus when alone is not capped, but I really feel lost in this area.  Can anyone help?
Thx!

There may be other opinions out there, but since it is supposed to be pH, keep it that way even if it does start the sentence. I like the idea of adding the word THE to the front, though. That works too and solves the problem! Good thinking!!!
