  1. aFor previously published genomes, values are taken from the integrative microbial genomes (IMG) data management and analysis system (Markowitz et al., 2014).
  2. bPairwise ANI and average number of synonymous substitutions per site (dS) are in respect to B. apis PEB0122T.
  3. cdS values could not be calculated for each of the 589 genes due to saturation of sequence divergence. The numbers in brackets indicate the number of genes for which a dS value was obtained.
