Salinisphaera sp. strain LB1 was isolated from Lake Brown, Western Australia, surface water enriched at pH 4.0 and with 5% (wt/vol) NaCl. We discuss the complete genome sequence in this report.
Draft genome sequences of 11 bacteria belonging to the family Microbacteriaceae were obtained using Illumina technology. The genomes of these strains have sizes from 3.14 to 4.30 Mb with their genomic DNA characterized as having high G+C contents (above 65%).
Terriglobus albidus strain ORNL is a heterotrophic soil acidobacterium isolated from the rhizosphere of an Eastern cottonwood tree (Populus deltoides) in Tennessee. Its 6.4-Mb chromosome was completely sequenced using PacBio long reads, and it encodes 5,010 proteins and 53 RNAs.
Cellvibrio japonicus is a saprophytic bacterium that has been studied for its substantial carbohydrate degradation capability. We announce the genome sequences of three strains with improved growth characteristics when utilizing α-diglucosides. These data provide additional insight into the metabolic flexibility of a biotechnologically relevant bacterium.
Dehalococcoides mccartyi strains RC and KS respire toxic 1,2-dichloropropane to environmentally benign propene. Their genomes were sequenced with Ion Torrent technology, assembled, and annotated. The draft genomes of strains RC and KS were 1.50 and 1.49 Mb in size and carried 1,653 and 1,671 genes, respectively.
ABSTRACT Bacillus sp. strain EB106-08-02-XG196 was isolated from a high-nitrate- and heavy metal-contaminated site at the Oak Ridge Reservation in Tennessee. We report the draft genome sequence of this strain to provide insights into the genomic basis for surviving in this unique environment.
We report here the near-complete genome sequence of “ Candidatus Spirobacillus cienkowskii,” a spiral-shaped, red-pigmented uncultivated bacterial pathogen of Daphnia spp. The genome is 2.74 Mbp in size, has a GC content of 32.1%, and contains genes associated with bacterial motility and the production of carotenoids, which could explain the distinctive red color of hosts infected with this pathogen.
Reported here are complete genome sequences for two anaerobic, thermophilic bacteria isolated from wheat straw, i.e., the (hemi)cellulolytic Thermoclostridium stercorarium subspecies strain RKWS1 (3,029,933 bp) and the hemicellulolytic Thermoanaerobacter species strain RKWS2 (2,827,640 bp). Discovery of indigenous thermophiles in plant biomass suggests that high-temperature microorganisms are more ubiquitous than previously thought.
We present genome assemblies of six Brucella melitensis strains isolated from goats and humans in Tanzania’s Kagera region. These sequences provide insight into circulating Brucella strains in Tanzania and East Africa. These data will support future comparative genomics, epidemiological investigations, and regional brucellosis control strategies.
“ Candidatus Dehalogenimonas etheniformans” strain GP couples growth with the reductive dechlorination of vinyl chloride and several polychlorinated ethenes. The genome sequence comprises a circular 2.07-Mb chromosome with a G+C content of 51.9% and harbors 50 putative reductive dehalogenase gene
ABSTRACT The recently proposed bacterial phylum Kiritimatiellaeota represents a globally distributed monophyletic clade distinct from other members of the Planctomycetes , Verrucomicrobia , and Chlamydiae (PVC) superphylum. Here, we present four phylogenetically distinct single-cell genome sequences from within the Kiritimatiellaeota lineage sampled from deep continental subsurface aquifer fluids of the Death Valley Regional Flow System in the United States.
Bacterial nitrogen (N) fixation in alder nodules is a key process providing nitrogen to nutrient-limited arctic biomes. Here, 45 prokaryotic metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) sequences from root nodules of arctic alder are reported.
The genome sequences of three extremely thermophilic, lignocellulolytic Caldicellulosiruptor species were closed, improving previously reported multiple-contig assemblies. All 14 classified Caldicellulosiruptor spp. now have closed genomes. Genome closure will enhance bioinformatic analysis of the species, including identification of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) and comparison against other Caldicellulosiruptor species and lignocellulolytic microorganisms.
This study describes the whole genome sequence of Dolosicoccus paucivorans 2991-95 (DSM 15742) isolated from human blood in Cleveland, Ohio. The genome length is approximately 1.8 Mbp with 107 contigs and a G + C content of 37.91%. Annotation identified 1,752 coding genes and multiple virulence factors.
Soil surface consortia are easily observed and sampled, allowing examination of their interactions with soil microbiomes. Here, we present metatranscriptomic sequences from Dark Green 1 (DG1), a cyanobacterium-based soil surface consortium, in the presence and absence of an underlying soil microbiome and/or urea.
Here, we report the complete genome sequences of two Megasphaera elsdenii strains, ATCC 25940 and NCIMB 702410. M. elsdenii is an anaerobic bacterium capable of producing butanoate and hexanoate and is a member of the Negativicutes .
Here, we present the genome sequence of a member of the group I Acidobacteria, Acidipila sp. strain EB88, which was isolated from temperate forest soil. Like many other members of its class, its genome contains evidence of the potential to utilize a broad range of sugars.
We report the complete draft genome sequences of two Staphylococcus warneri clinical isolates, strains SMA0023-04 (UGA3) and SMA0670-05 (UGA28), each of which contains one chromosome and at least one plasmid. Isolate SMA0023-04 (UGA3) contains tetracycline efflux major facilitator superfamily (MFS) transporter ( tetK ), macrolide resistance ( msrC and mphC ), and beta-lactamase ( blaZ ) genes on its plasmids.
