Correlation between SDF strains belonging to the B. cereus group and growth conditions or enzyme activities. A Person correlation-based clustering method was employed to construct a heatmap associating 48 SDF strains allocated in the B. cereus group (right) and 30 phenotypical features (bottom) contributing to AEFB identification and classification. The top dendrogram clustered the SDF strains into two parts based on the prevalence of positive responses (blue) to 30 growth conditions and enzyme reactions described at the bottom of the graphic. Negative responses are shown in red.
