Comparison of Genomic Similarity Score and Core 70 trees. a Neighbor-joining tree based on GSS (Genomic Similarity Score) distance [10]. b Core 70 tree based on the alignment of 437 genes present in at least 70% of the species. In both trees, strain names in blue correspond to Bacillus species isolated from aquatic environments. Branch colors indicate clearly delineated groups. The dots indicate support based on p≤0.05 (GSS tree) and bootstrap values ≥80 (Core 70 tree). Indicated nodes and dashed rectangles show that aquatic Bacillus cluster better in the GSS tree. The figure was drawn using the web-based tool iTOL [68]
