We sequenced two metagenomes of sediments from the East Fork Poplar Creek in the Oak Ridge Reservation (Oak Ridge, TN), a natural stream that has been contaminated with Hg from upstream sources, and we reconstructed 28 metagenome-assembled genomes of novel prokaryotic species.
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.
The genomes of Methylomonas sp. strain EFPC1 and Methylococcus sp. strain EFPC2 isolated from a mercury-contaminated stream in Oak Ridge Tennessee, were sequenced.
Ten distinct isolates from the genus Pseudomonas were isolated in culture. The genomes of these isolates were sequenced using the Illumina MiSeq platform and assembled in order to provide insight into the metabolic and carbon-degrading potential of bacteria residing in soils at high latitudes.
This study presents the draft genome of Rossellomorea marisflavi DL-A, a malathion-degrading bacterium isolated from the North Oconee River in Athens, GA, USA. The DL-A genome is 4.27 Mb in size and comprises 4,271 coding sequences with proteins.
Genome-wide binding sites of 44 putative transcription factors (TFs) from Novosphingobium aromaticivorans DSM12444 were analyzed using DNA affinity purification sequencing. We report that 32 of these TFs have at least one area of enrichment. These data will help better understand aromatic metabolism and other features of N. aromaticivorans biology.
The syntrophic obligate proton-reducing bacterium Syntrophus buswellii DSM 102354 T , isolated from anaerobic digester sludge, degrades benzoate and possibly hydrocinnamate (phenyl-3-propionate) when grown with a suitable hydrogenotrophic partner. The complete genome sequence data provide insight regarding aromatic compound degradation under thermodynamically limiting conditions when exogenous electron acceptors are absent.
We report here the improved draft genome sequence of Pseudomonas poae strain A2-S9, a bacterium that was originally isolated from switchgrass plants and exhibited the capacity for plant growth promotion. Its genome has a size of 6.68 Mbp and a GC content of 61.3%.
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.
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.
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.
Bacillus coagulans MA-13 is an efficient lactic acid producer which withstands high concentrations of the growth inhibitors formed during the pretreatment of lignocellulosic feedstock. This draft genome sequence is expected to pave the way toward the understanding of mechanisms responsible for the robustness of MA-13 during simultaneous saccharification and fermentation.
Multiplex, randomized CRISPR interference sequencing (MuRCiS) allows for the simultaneous identification of multiple gene knockouts that together influence microbial processes. Here, we report on an updated analysis tool called Auto-MuRCiS that utilizes Docker to make the analysis of these data rapid and more user-friendly.
We report here the 4.9-Mb genome sequence of a quinoline-degrading bacterium, Rhodococcus sp. strain ATCC 49988. The draft genome data will enable the identification of genes and future genetic modification to enhance traits relevant to heteroaromatic compound degradation.
The complete genome sequence of the gammaproteobacterial isolate Serratia quinivorans 124R consists of 5 Mb over 2 scaffolds and a G+C content of 52.85%. Genes relating to aromatic metabolism reflect its isolation on organosolv lignin as a sole carbon source under anoxic conditions as well as the potential for lignin biorefinery applications.
Actinomyces sp. HMT175 strain ORNL0102 was isolated from a human saliva sample and can serve as a host for the ectobiont saccharibacterium/TM7 HMT957. Its 3.3-Mbp circular chromosome was completely sequenced using PacBio long reads, and it encodes 2,408 proteins and 63 RNAs.
ABSTRACT Yarrowia lipolytica is an oleaginous yeast that produces high titers of fatty acid-derived biofuels and biochemicals. It can grow on hydrophobic carbon sources and lignocellulosic hydrolysates. The genome sequence of Y. lipolytica NRRL Y-64008 is reported to aid in its development as a biotechnological chassis for producing biofuels and bioproducts.
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.
