NJ phylogeny of ANI values of 3,387 E. hormaechei strains. ANI values were calculated using FastANI [10] and converted to distance values. The phylogeny was constructed using the neighbor.exe function in Phylip v. 3.698 [11]. The genome of the type strain E. quasihormaechei WCHEQ120003T was used as outgroup. The inset shows the average ANI values within and between species/subspecies. A colour gradient shows those values above the species-level cut-off value of 95% in blue and those values below the species boundary in red
