Here, we present 36 metagenomes, 59 metatranscriptomes, and 373 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from Chesapeake and Delaware Bay water samples. This data set will be useful for studying microbial biogeochemical cycling in estuaries.
We report the draft genome sequences of five native nitrogen-fixing bacteria associated with roots of switchgrass isolated from the Tallgrass Prairies of Oklahoma. Nitrogen-fixing genes, including the nif cluster, are conserved across the Klebsiella and Kosakonia strains.
Fermentative microbial communities can be utilized for the conversion of various agroindustrial residues into valuable chemicals. Here, we report 34 metagenomes from anaerobic bioreactors fed lactose-rich ultrafiltered milk permeate and 278 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs). These MAGs can inform future studies aimed at generating renewable chemicals from dairy and other agroindustrial residues.
ABSTRACT We present the draft genome sequences of three Burkholderia thailandensis strains, E421, E426, and DW503. E421 consists of 90 contigs of 6,639,935 bp and 67.73% GC content. E426 consists of 106 contigs of 6,587,853 bp and 67.73% GC content. DW503 consists of 102 contigs of 6,458,767 bp and 67.64% GC content.
The role of archaeal ammonia oxidizers often exceeds that of bacterial ammonia oxidizers in marine and terrestrial environments but has been understudied in permafrost, where thawing has the potential to release ammonia. Here, three thaumarchaea genomes were assembled and annotated from metagenomic data sets from carbon-poor Canadian High Arctic active-layer cryosols.
Here, we report the annotated genome sequence for a heterokont alga from the class Xanthophyceae. This high-biomass-producing strain, Tribonema minus UTEX B 3156, was isolated from a wastewater treatment plant in California. It is stable in outdoor raceway ponds and is a promising industrial feedstock for biofuels and bioproducts.
We present the complete genome sequence of Erwinia spp. str. LJJL01, isolated from waste charcoal in Colorado, USA, using Oxford Nanopore sequencing. This sequence provides important insights into this bacterium’s metabolic and catabolic robustness to utilize sugars, acids, and aromatics, highlighting its potential as a bio-industrial strain for various feedstocks.
A Gram-positive bacterium was isolated from the root of an eastern cottonwood tree ( Populus deltoides ) in Georgia and identified as a Tumebacillus species with 99% 16S rRNA nucleotide identity to Tumebacillus avium . The genome is 4.6 Mbp and encodes 4,072 proteins and 251 RNAs.
Here, we report metagenome-assembled genomes for “Candidatus Phormidium sp. strain AB48” and three cooccurring microorganisms from a biofilm-forming industrial photobioreactor environment, using the PacBio sequencing platform. Several mobile genetic elements, including a double-stranded DNA phage and plasmids, were also recovered, with the potential to mediate gene transfer within the biofilm community.
ABSTRACT A collection of 47 bacteria isolated from the mucilage of aerial roots of energy sorghum is available at the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center, Michigan State University, Michigan, USA. We enriched bacteria with putative plant-beneficial phenotypes and included information on phenotypic diversity, taxonomy, and whole genome sequences.
ABSTRACT A collection of 44 isolates isolated from the epicuticular wax of stems of energy sorghum is available at the Great Lakes Bioenergy Researcher Center, Michigan State University, MI, USA. We enriched bacteria with putative plant-beneficial phenotypes and include information on their phenotypic diversity, taxonomy, and whole-genome sequences.
The siderophilic, thermophilic Leptolyngbyaceae cyanobacterium JSC-12 was isolated from a microbial mat in an iron-depositing hot spring. Here, we report the high-quality draft genome sequence of JSC-12, which may help elucidate the mechanisms of resistance to extreme iron concentrations in siderophilic cyanobacteria and lead to new remediation biotechnologies.
ABSTRACT Cellulomonas sp. strain ES6 is a chromate-reducing bacterium isolated from chromium contaminated subsurface sediment. Illumina MiSeq and Oxford Nanopore sequencing were used to assemble the genome sequence which consisted of a single circular chromosome of 4.13 Mb, contained 3,960 protein encoding genes and with an overall G + C content 75.38%.
Agrobacterium fabrum ARqua1 is a hybrid of Agrobacterium fabrum C58C bearing the megaplasmid pRiA4b. ARqua1 is used by many plant researchers to generate transgenic roots. The draft genome of ARqua1 includes a 249,350-bp contig that likely covers all of pRiA4b, and it will be a valuable resource to plant biologists.
ABSTRACT Xenorhabdus species are bacterial symbionts of entomopathogenic Steinernema nematodes, in which they produce diverse secondary metabolites implicated in pathogenesis. To expand resources for natural product prospecting and exploration of host-symbiont-pathogen relationships, the genomes of Xenorhabdus cabanillasi, Xenorhabdus ehlersii , Xenorhabdus japonica , Xenorhabdus koppenhoeferii , and Xenorhabdus mauleonii were analyzed.
Two bacterial isolates were recovered from wetland sediments from Tims Branch, a heavy metal contaminated wetland located at the Savannah River Site. Draft genomes of the two recovered isolates, Rhodoblastus strain 17X3 and Comamonas strain 17RB, were generated from Illumina MiSeq sequencing data.
ABSTRACT Hyphomicrobium are facultative denitrifying anaerobes capable of using one-carbon compounds as a sole carbon source. Hyphomicrobium sp. G-191 was enriched from Cedar Swamp, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, using a selective medium for methanol-utilizing bacteria. We present two draft metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) of a Hyphomicrobium and a Methylophilus species.
We report here the genome sequences of three Aquimarina megaterium strains isolated from the octocoral Eunicella labiata . We reveal a coding potential for versatile carbon metabolism and biosynthesis of natural products belonging to the polyketide, nonribosomal peptide, and terpene compound classes.
