Illegal character error for valid taxa

[gregpoore]

I'm profiling through several hundred species and noticed that at least one of them throws the following error despite being a valid species name (and having a valid BacDive entry):

ERROR: Illegal character detected! My apologies, but your search can only contain letters, numbers and white-space. Abbreviating genus names (e.g. 'B. subtilis') is not supported. Please spell out your searchTerm ('Bacillus subtilis'), don't use any 'special' characters and try again.

This is reproducible with the species Cellulomonas xylanilytica

For now, I've implemented a tryCatch() in the species loop to avoid erroring out, but this is probably a bug somewhere in the code.

Wow! This was a beginner mistake on my part 😞 See #117 for the repair.

Please note that because I'm not with TIB anymore, actually getting this merged, could take some more time again. This is a hobby project for me at this time.
