Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of Mycobacterium abscessus Phage phiT46-1Mycobacteriophage phiT46-1 is a newly isolated Mycobacterium phage that was isolated by spontaneous release from Mycobacterium abscessus strain Taiwan-46 and infects M. abscessus strain BWH-C. Phage phiT46-1 is unrelated to previously described mycobacteriophages, has a 52,849-bp genome,...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Achromobacter xylosoxidans Myophage ManoAchromobacter spp. are ubiquitous Gram-negative bacteria, some of which can cause respiratory tract infections in patients with autoimmune disorders and cystic fibrosis. Bacteriophages have therapeutic and biotechnological potential to combat Achromobacter sp. infections. This announcement details the 42.5-kb genome sequence of the temperate Achromobacter...
Omics Data SetsMetagenome-Assembled Genome Sequences of Raphidiopsis raciborskii and Planktothrix agardhii from a Cyanobacterial Bloom in Kissena Lake, New York, USARaphidiopsis raciborskii and Planktothrix agardhii are filamentous, potentially toxin-producing cyanobacteria that form nuisance blooms in fresh waters. Here, we report high-quality metagenome-assembled genome sequences of R. raciborskii and P. agardhii collected from a bloom in...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Sulfurospirillum sp. Strain ACSDCE, an Anaerobic Bacterium That Respires Tetrachloroethene under Acidic pH ConditionsSulfurospirillum sp. strain ACSDCE couples growth with reductive dechlorination of tetrachloroethene to cis-1,2-dichloroethene at pH values as low as 5.5. The genome sequence of strain ACSDCE consists of a circular 2,737,849-bp chromosome and a 39,868-bp plasmid and carries 2,737 protein-coding sequences, including two reductive dehalogenase genes.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Thelohania contejeani and Cucumispora dikerogammari, Pathogenic Microsporidia of Freshwater CrustaceansWe announce the draft genome sequences of two pathogenic microsporidia of European freshwater crustaceans, Thelohania contejeani (the causative agent of porcelain disease) and Cucumispora dikerogammari. Both species are implicated in mass mortalities in natural populations of their crayfish and...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Multidrug-Resistant Pseudomonas protegens Strain 11HC2, Isolated from Marine Plastic Collected from the West Coast of Norway...We report the draft genome sequence of the multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas protegens strain 11HC2, isolated from polypropylene collected from a water column near a beach in Øygarden, Norway. The genome sequence is 6,861,219 bp in length, with a G+C content of 63.4%. Strain 11HC2 is resistant to cefotaxime, ampicillin, trimethoprim, and chloramphenicol.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Alistipes indistinctus Strain 2BBH45, Isolated from the Feces of a Healthy Japanese MaleThe genus Alistipes is one of the members of the human gut microbiota. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Alistipes indistinctus strain 2BBH45, harboring plasmid p2BBH45.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Neonatal Clinical Group B Streptococcal Isolate CJB111Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is an asymptomatic colonizer of the female reproductive tract but can cause maternal and neonatal infections and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Here, we closed the genome sequence of strain CJB111, a neonatal GBS clinical isolate from a case of late-onset bacteremia without focus (Houston, TX; 1990).
Genome SequencesMetagenome-Assembled Genome Sequences of a Biofilm Derived from Marsberg Copper MineWe sequenced the metagenome of a biofilm collected near a leachate stream of the Marsberg copper mine (Germany) and reconstructed eight metagenome-assembled genomes. These genomes yield copper resistance through Cu(I) oxidation via multiple copper oxidases and extrusion through copper-exporting P-type ATPases.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Multidrug-Resistant and mcr-1.1-Harboring Escherichia coli Isolated from Drinking and Well Waters Used in Syrian Refugee CampsResistance to colistin, a last-resort antibiotic, threatens the treatment of complicated infections, especially in susceptible populations such as Syrian refugees who live in makeshift camps. Two multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli strains with the plasmid-borne colistin resistance gene (mcr-1.1) were isolated from the waters used by refugees and sequenced...
