We report the complete genome sequence of Methanospirillum hungatei strain GP1 (DSM 1101). Strain GP1 oxidizes H 2 , formate, and secondary alcohols as the substrates for methanogenesis. Members of the genus are model organisms used to study syntrophic growth with bacterial partners, but secondary alcohol metabolism remains poorly studied.
Forty-two bacterial strains were isolated from root samples of Sorghum bicolor. The strains spanned 17 genera, including Dechloromonas, Duganella, Dyella, Flavobacterium, Herbaspirillum, Lutibacter, Mucilaginibacter, Novosphingobium, Paraburkholderia, Pedobacter, Pleomorphomonas, Rhizobacter, Rhizobium, Rhizomicrobium, Rugamonas, Variovorax, and Xanthobacter. Their whole-genome sequences revealed diverse metabolic processes, including biological nitrogen fixation, in sorghum root microbiota.
Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the siderophilic cyanobacterium Fischerella thermalis JSC-11, which was isolated from an iron-depositing hot spring. JSC-11 has bioremediation potential because it is capable of both extracellular absorption and intracellular mineralization of colloidal iron. This genomic information will facilitate the exploration of JSC-11 for bioremediation.
Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Gleimia europaea DSM 26657, a pathogenic gram-positive bacillus, isolated from a patient with a subcutaneous fistula in 2007 in Germany. The genome is 2.0 Mb in size with 1,813 predicted genes, having only one putative antibiotic resistance gene.
Tuber brumale and Tuber indicum (Pezizomycetes) are two edible black truffles establishing ectomycorrhizal symbiosis with trees and shrubs. T. brumale is ubiquitous in Europe, and T. indicum is mainly found in China. Here, we present the draft genome sequences of T. brumale and T. indicum .
ABSTRACT We report the genome sequences of four Endozoicomonas sp. strains isolated from the octocoral Litophyton maintained long term at an aquarium facility. Our analysis reveals the coding potential for versatile polysaccharide metabolism; Type II, III, IV, and VI secretion systems; and the biosynthesis of novel ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides.
We report the genome sequence of Clostridium tetanomorphum DSM 4474T isolated from a septic wound. In addition to its potential as a human pathogen, this species may be useful in biofuel production due to its ability to synthesize butanol without the byproduct acetone. The genome is 4,374,054 bp.
ABSTRACT We report the draft genome sequence of a novel species, Exiguobacterium sp., isolated from a freshly harvested and untreated cantaloupe in North Carolina. The strain Exiguobacterium wild type exhibited inhibitory activity against the foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes , including strains of diverse serotypes and genotypes, both on agar media and in biofilms.
Promicromonospora sp. strain Populi is an actinobacterium isolated from the rhizosphere of a black cottonwood tree, Populus trichocarpa. We completely sequenced its 5.2-Mbp chromosome using Oxford Nanopore long reads and predicted it to encode 4,685 proteins, 3 rRNA operons, and 54 tRNAs and noncoding RNAs.
Sphaerosporella brunnea is a pioneer ectomycorrhizal fungus with facultative saprophytic capacities. Here, we sequenced the genome of S. brunnea strain Sb_GMNB300, which is estimated at 51.6 Mb in size with 872 assembled contigs accounting for 12,597 predicted coding genes. This genome will be useful for comparative studies of Pezizales ectomycorrhizal symbioses.
For their food source, Trachymyrmex septentrionalis ants raise symbiotic fungus gardens that contain bacteria whose functions are poorly understood. Here, we report the genome sequences of eight bacteria isolated from these fungus gardens to better describe the ecology of these strains and their potential to produce secondary metabolites in this niche.
Species of Nannochloropsis are single-celled Stramenopiles commonly used in microalgae-based technologies for the manufacturing of bioproducts. Nannochloropsis oceanica QH25 was isolated from an algal cultivation pond located in Imperial, Texas (USA). We used PacBio continuous long read (CLR) sequencing to produce a highly contiguous 29.34 Mb genome.
Here, we report the complete genome sequence of the tetrachloroethene-to-trichloroethene dechlorinator Sulfurospirillum sp. strain ACS TCE . The genome consists of a 38.05-kb circular plasmid and a 2.69-Mb circular chromosome, which encodes 3 identical reductive dehalogenases with 91.47% amino acid identity to the PceA of Sulfurospirillum multivorans strain DSM 12446.
Here, we present the draft genome sequence of a novel species of the genus Singulisphaera (phylum Planctomycetes , family Isosphaeraceae ) isolated from soil. Singulisphaera sp. strain GP187 has a relatively large mobilome and numerous novel genes that may contribute to the production of bioactive molecules.
Many soil microorganisms have evolved catabolic strategies to utilize phenolic compounds arising from depolymerized lignin. We report the complete genome sequences of four Pseudomonas sp. isolates that demonstrated robust growth on a wide range of aromatic monomers and dimers that are relevant to the valorization of lignin into value-added chemicals.
We report the complete genome sequences of five Variovorax strains isolated from the roots of Populus species in greenhouse and field settings. Genome sizes range from 7.44 to 7.71 Mbp and encode 6,077–6,879 predicted protein-coding genes. These genome assemblies expand the known genomic catalog of Variovorax in plant-associated environments.
Here, we present the draft genome sequence of Bordetella sp. strain FB-8, a mixotrophic iron-oxidizing bacterium isolated from creek sediment in the former uranium-mining district of Ronneburg, Germany. To date, iron oxidation has not been reported in Bordetella species, indicating that FB-8 may be an environmentally important Bordetella sp.
The isolation of novel microbes from environmental samples continues to be a key strategy for the discovery of new metabolic capacities for the degradation and transformation of lignocellulose. We report the draft genome sequence of a new strain of Brevibacillus borstelensis isolated from a sorghum-adapted microbial community derived from a compost sample.
