Phylogenetic analysis. (A) Phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA sequences obtained by the ML method with 1000 replicates. (B) ML phylogeny was constructed using concatenated SNPs derived from 1,433 single-copy core gene families of 11 Metabacillus genomes. The node values of the tree are bootstrap values (1,000 replicates). The values next to the tree indicate ANI, AAI, and in silico DDH values. Novel effective species “M. dongyingensis” strain BY2G20 was used as a query, and the listed genome was used as a reference. Numbers at nodes indicate the levels of bootstrap support (>70%).
