Maximum likelihood phylogeny from a concatenated amino acid sequence of 31 core genes. Genomes sequenced here as well as data for selected Bacillus, Paenibacillus, and additional Firmicutes were used to obtain the gene sequences for the phylogenetic analysis. The clade containing Clostridium spp. was selected to root the tree. For better visualization of the genera of interest (Bacillus, Paenibacillus, and Viridibacillus), branches that contained genomes of other genera were collapsed. Numbers on the branches represent bootstrap values calculated with 1000 replicates. Bootstrap values <80 are not included. Strains sequenced in this study are shown in red. The three Paenibacillus clades are labeled.
