ABSTRACT Cryptococcus curvatus ATCC 20509 is a commonly used nonmodel oleaginous yeast capable of converting a variety of carbon sources into fatty acids. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of this popular organism to provide a means for more in-depth studies of its fatty acid production potential.
ABSTRACT Cryptococcus terricola JCM 24523 has recently been identified as an oleaginous yeast capable of converting starch into fatty acids. This draft genome sequence provides a platform for elucidating its fatty acid production potential and supporting comparisons with other oleaginous species.
Draft genome sequences for four Actinobacteria from the genus Streptomyces are presented. Streptomyces is a metabolically diverse genus that is abundant in soils and has been reported in association with plants. The strains described in this study were isolated from the Populus trichocarpa endosphere and rhizosphere.
The draft genome of Kallotenue papyrolyticum JKG1 T , a member of the order Kallotenuales , class Chloroflexia , consists of 4,475,263 bp in 4 contigs and encodes 4,010 predicted genes, 49 tRNA-encoding genes, and 3 rRNA operons. The genome is consistent with a heterotrophic lifestyle including catabolism of polysaccharides and amino acids.
ABSTRACT Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Monaibacterium marinum C7 T , a strain that represents a new member of the Roseobacter clade of the family Rhodobacteraceae ( Alphaproteobacteria ). The genome size of Monaibacterium marinum C7 T is 3.7 Mb (3,734,267 bp), with a G+C content of 58.86%.
Here, we report the first draft genome sequence (42.38 Mb containing 13,657 genes) of Coniochaeta ligniaria NRRL 30616, an ascomycete with biotechnological relevance in the bioenergy field given its high potential for bioabatement of toxic furanic compounds in plant biomass hydrolysates and its capacity to degrade lignocellulosic material.
The facultative plant pathogen Epicoccum sorghinum is associated with grain mold of sorghum and produces the mycotoxin tenuazonic acid. This fungus can have serious economic impact on sorghum production. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of E. sorghinum (USPMTOX48).
ABSTRACT Nocardioides luteus strain BAFB is a Gram-positive bacterium that efficiently degrades C 8 to C 11 alkanes aerobically. The draft genome of N. luteus BAFB is 5.76 Mb in size, with 5,358 coding sequences and 69.9% G+C content. The genes responsible for alkane degradation are present in this strain.
ABSTRACT Sulfate-reducing bacteria are important players in the global sulfur cycle and of considerable commercial interest. The draft genome sequence of a sulfate-reducing bacterium of the family Desulfobacteraceae , assembled from a sulfate-reducing bioreactor metagenome, indicates that heavy-metal– and acid-resistance traits of this organism may be of importance for its application in acid mine drainage mitigation.
ABSTRACT Bacteria belonging to the family Acidimicrobiaceae are frequently encountered in heavy metal-contaminated acidic environments. However, their phylogenetic and metabolic diversity is poorly resolved. We present draft genome sequences of two novel and phylogenetically distinct Acidimicrobiaceae members assembled from an acid mine drainage biofilm metagenome.
ABSTRACT Recent attempts to sequence regions of the Rhodomicrobium vannielii ATCC 17100 genome revealed discrepancies with the previously published genome. We report the revised draft genome sequences of the type strains Rhodomicrobium vannielii ATCC 17100 and Rhodomicrobium udaipurense JA643. These revisions will facilitate genetic studies of phototrophic metabolism in these bacteria.
The draft genome sequence of the soil bacterium Pedococcus sp. strain 5OH_020, isolated on a natural cobalamin analog, comprises 4.4 Mbp, with 4,108 protein-coding genes. Its genome encodes cobalamin-dependent enzymes, including methionine synthase and class II ribonucleotide reductase. Taxonomic analysis suggests that it is a novel species within the genus Pedococcus .
We report here the improved draft genome sequence of Bacillus sp. strain YF23, a bacterium originally isolated from switchgrass ( Panicum virgatum ) plants and shown to exhibit plant growth-promoting activity. The genome comprised 5.82 Mbp, containing 5,933 genes, with 193 as RNA genes, and a GC content of 35.10%.
We report here the draft genome sequence of Yokenella regensburgei strain WCD67, isolated from the boxelder bug ( Boisea trivittata ). The genome is 5,277,883 bp in size, has a GC content of 54.12%, and has 5,416 genes. A total of 17 mobile elements were discovered, 6 of which were predicted to be phages.
A soilborne Stenotrophomonas sp. strain (MA5) that is resistant to mercury was isolated. A draft genome sequence-based analysis revealed a suite of gene determinants to resist mercury and other heavy metals, multidrug efflux, stress response, and membrane transport, and these provide cues to a suite of mechanisms that underpin cellular survival in contaminated soil.
A mercury (Hg)-resistant Serratia sp. strain, SRS-8-S-2018, was isolated, followed by generation of its draft genome sequence, which indicated a genomic size of 5,323,630 bp composed of 5,261 coding sequences. A suite of genomic functions in strain SRS-8-S-2018 was identified, and these likely facilitate survival in a metalliferous soil habitat.
Mycobacterium sp. strain JC1 DSM3803 is one of the few known bacteria predicted to possess the xylulose monophosphate (XuMP) pathway of C1 carbon assimilation. The draft genome is 7,921,603 bp with a GC content of 66.88% and will allow more in depth investigation of the bacterium’s unique metabolisms.
Larkinella sp. strain BK230, a heterotrophic bacterium of the phylum Bacteroidetes , was isolated from the roots of a field-grown eastern cottonwood tree ( Populus deltoides ) located in Georgia. The draft 7.27-Mb genome has a G+C content of 53.4% and contains 6,026 coding sequences, including 41 tRNA genes.
