Fig. 1 — Geographic distribution of the genus Sporosarcina, using location data from the Earth Microbiome Project (circles), and Genbank (triangles). Colors indicate the general source of isolation, based on sequence metadata, with the exception of orange that indicates cocci-shaped Sporosarcina strains. When exact GPS coordinates were not available, coordinates were approximated based on location data provided. The map was created using the Matplotlib and Basemap packages in Python, with rendering using GEOS (Geometry Engine - Open Source)
