Subgroups were identified in accordance with 16S rRNA sequences of the organisms.
Belongs to subgroup Cereus A according to 16S rRNA and 23S rRNA sequences, which were extracted from whole-genome sequences of this organism (GenBank accession nos. AE017264, AE017265, AE01266, and AE017280).
Because 23S rRNA genes of the organisms are not sequenced yet, the isolates were assigned to Anthracis or Cereus A subgroups.
Because of incomplete 16S rRNA sequences, these two isolates were identified as belonging to Thuringiensis A or Thuringiensis B subgroup.
Microorganisms whose names are marked in bold were also subgroup identified based on their 23S rRNA sequences.
—, not sequenced.
