Table 1. Summarising the pairwise ANI, AAI and estimated DDH values of the S. somaliensis and S. sudanensis type strain genomes compared to genomes in GTDB.

Species thresholds are usually defined by ANI >95%, AAI >95% and DDH >70%. Values that fall below these thresholds are highlighted in grey. Results indicate that GTDB GCF_000258695 (annotated as S. somaliensis) is most closely related to S. sudanensis, though it is a different species.
