1. Genomic characterization of Bacillus cereus sensu lato group.
Genomic characterization of Bacillus cereus sensu lato group. (A) Clustering of species within the Bacillus cereus sensu lato group based on ANI distances. B. anthracis members are colored in yellow; B. cereus sensu stricto strains are colored in pink; B. thuringiensis members are colored in green; and B. mycoides is colored in purple. The right colored strip indicates the source of isolation. Filled or empty circles indicate the presence (filled) or absence (empty) of pXO1 (in blue) and pXO2 (in red). Filled stars denote the strains for which pXO1-like (blue) or pXO2-like (red) contigs were identified. (B) The number of functionally annotated coding sequences (excluding hypothetical sequences) predicted in pXO1-like contigs (42 in total, 3% of the total number). (C) Example of B. cereus strain VD014 showing partial pXO1-like backbone homologous to pXO1 from B. anthracis Ames ancestor.
