Pairwise ANI values calculated between 159 group III B. cereus sensu lato genomes in which (i) both the query and reference genome lacked cesABCD (ces negative; n = 94); (ii) both the query and reference genome possessed cesABCD (ces positive; n = 65); and (iii) the query genome possessed cesABCD and the reference genome lacked cesABCD and vice versa (mixed). Pairwise ANI values were calculated using FastANI v1.0. Lower and upper box hinges correspond to the first and third quartiles, respectively. Lower and upper whiskers extend from the hinge to the smallest and largest values no more distant than 1.5 times the interquartile range from the hinge, respectively. Points represent pairwise distances that fall beyond the ends of the whiskers.
