Table 2.
Traditional DNA–DNA hybridization (tDDH) results from representatives of all Elizabethkingia species (Holmes et al. 2013) correlate with in silico methods
| Method | tDDH at 70 °C | Two-way AAI | GGDC: formula 1 | GGDC: formula 2 | GGDC: formula 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Two-way AAI | 0.641 | ||||
| GGDC: formula 1 | 0.598 | 0.981 | |||
| GGDC: formula 2 | 0.912 | 0.812 | 0.757 | ||
| GGDC: formula 3 | 0.737 | 0.985 | 0.983 | 0.858 | |
| ANIb (Jspecies) | 0.751 | 0.986 | 0.956 | 0.876 | 0.986 |
Of the three formulae used to calculate Genome-to-Genome distance (Auch et al. 2010a), formula 2 was expected to best approximate tDDH results, and our results are an independent confirmation of this
