As far as I know, there is no standard for 3 letter organism names and
each resource that uses these names keeps its own list. Three letter
codes can't cover more than 26^3 species and there are many more
species than this. If you want to understand the codes from a specific
resource, you need to find that information in the documentation of
that resource. If you want to just use existing codes for convenience,
KEGG maintains a list of its 3 letter codes for sequenced genomes here:
