FastTree phylogenetic comparison with whole genome data. A homologous group filtering and a group alignment were performed by PATRIC pipeline [24] and an estimated phylogenetic tree from concatenated alignment sequences was calculated within the type strains B. cereus ATCC 14579^T (DSM 31^T), B. thuringiensis ATCC 10792^T (DSM 2046^T), B. toyonensis BCT-7112^T (CECT 876^T), B. weihenstephanensis WSBC 10204^T (DSM 11821^T), B. mycoides ATCC 6462^T (DSM 2048^T) and Bacillus pseudomycoides AFS069374^T using a FastTree method [25]. Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius DSM 2542^T was used as outgroup strain
