Any bacterial databases that contain Gram staining information?

Question

[archaeopteryx]

I am looking for a database which I can use to programmatically mark the taxa in my project as either Gram +ve or Gram -ve. It looks like the NCBI used to maintain a file (lproks_0.txt) with this information but they no longer do. If anyone has a resource that I could use for this purpose I would appreciate the help.

For example:

Old version of NCBI had this information.

Bergey's Manual, as 5heikki said:

Is there a free database of bacterial phenotype information by species name?

Wiki, as genomax2 suggested:

List of gram negative bacteria

See these papers:

PSORTdb—an expanded, auto-updated, user-friendly protein subcellular localization database for Bacteria and Archaea

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_taxonomy

and there go to Subdivisions based on Gram staining

The presentation describes the difference:

I found the R package AMR usefull to assign gram staining based on taxonomy. See mo_gramstain(x, language = get_AMR_locale(), ...)
