ANI, average nucleotide identity; dDDH, digital DNA–DNA hybridization; POCP, percentage of conserved proteins; AAI, average amino acid identity.
aFor Clade V the values between Alkalihalobacillus oshimensis DSM 18940T, Alkalihalobacillus plakortidis DSM 19153, and Alkalihalobacillus lehensis DSM 19099 were not considered as they are synonyms.
bThe pairwise identity between the 16S rRNA gene sequence.
