ANI and dDDH values among the representative set of clade I Xanthomonas, including the strains sequenced in this study^a

^aA combination of ANI and dDDH indices was used to designate a taxonomic status for a given phylogenetic clade; strains FX1 and FX4 were suspected to belong to a novel species, while strain AmX2 could be considered another novel species. Highlighted squares indicate ANI (below the diagonal) and dDDH (above the diagonal) values higher than the accepted threshold for the definition of prokaryotic species.
