Taxonomy of endophytic bacterial strain Hil4 based on most closely related bacterial strains belonging to closely related Bacillus sp. after average nucleotide identity by orthology (OrthoANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) analysis. ANI values 95–96% and dDDH values 70% are considered threshold values for species separation. Type strains are symbolized with T.
