Supplementary Figure. Photomicrographs of sporangia and vegetative cells of the type strains of Virgibacillus carmonensis sp. nov. (a), Virgibacillus necropolis sp. nov. (b) and Virgibacillus picturae sp. nov. (c). Bars, 2 µm. In (a), sporangia are swollen with subterminal, ellipsoidal and spherical spores. In (b), rods and coccoid rods form sporangia that are swollen with ellipsoidal spores. In (c), sporangia are swollen by terminal, ellipsoidal and nearly spherical spores.
