Phylogenetic tree of the cocci-shaped Sporosarcina strains based on the core genome, and rooted based on the 16S rRNA gene tree. Tree was built using core genes shared at 90% amino acid sequence identity and 90% sequence coverage by all strains. Those sequences were concatenated in the same order for each genome, aligned using MAFFT, and the tree was built using FastTree. The genome names are colored to reflect the phenotypic class they were assigned during their initial isolation by Pregerson (1973). Spore genes found in B. subtilis and other spore-forming bacteria were protein-blasted to determine whether similar sequences exist in cocci-shaped strains of Sporosarcina
