Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Sulfitobacter sp. Strain D7, a Virulent Bacterium Isolated from an Emiliania huxleyi Algal Bloom in the North AtlanticA Rhodobacterales bacterium, Sulfitobacter sp. strain D7, was isolated from an Emiliania huxleyi bloom in the North Atlantic and has been shown to act as a pathogen and induce cell death of E. huxleyi during lab coculturing.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis Strain 14B4, Which Inhibits the Growth of Salmonella enterica Serotype Poona In VitroWe present here the complete genome sequence of Lactococcus lactis strain 14B4, isolated from almond drupes in northern California. This strain was observed to inhibit the growth of Salmonella enterica serotype Poona strain RM3363 in vitro.
Genome SequencesFirst Complete Genome Sequence of a Genotype A2, Subgroup 4 Small Ruminant LentivirusGenetic variation in the ovine TMEM154 gene associates with susceptibility to small ruminant lentivirus (SRLV) infection. We report here the first complete genome sequence for a genotype A2, subgroup 4 SRLV isolated from a Hampshire ewe with two copies of a TMEM154 frameshift mutation predicted to abolish protein function.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of the Hydrocarbon-Degrading Strain Achromobacter sp. B7, Isolated during Petroleum Hydrocarbon Bioremediation in the Valparaiso Region, ChileAchromobacter sp. strain B7 (= CCUG 72081) was isolated from a diesel-polluted soil from the Valparaiso Region, Chile, subjected to bioremediation with a hydrocarbon-degrading enrichment.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Bacillus subtilis Strain FB6-3, Isolated from Fermented Bamboo ShootHere, we report the draft genome sequence of Bacillus subtilis strain FB6-3, isolated from fermented bamboo shoot samples (Soibum) from Manipur, India. The genome was constructed to facilitate studies in evolution of the genetic code.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Assembly of a Potentially Zoonotic Cryptosporidium parvum Isolate, UKP1Cryptosporidium parvum is a zoonotic protozoan parasite that causes food and waterborne gastrointestinal disease and whose major animal reservoirs are cattle and small ruminants. We report here on a draft whole-genome sequence of a zoonotic isolate of C. parvum isolated from a person with...
Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of Fusarium graminearum Strain MDC_Fg1, Isolated from Bread Wheat Grown in FranceFusarium graminearum is a major fungal pathogen that induces Fusarium head blight (FHB), a devastating disease of small-grain cereals worldwide. This announcement provides the whole-genome sequence of a highly virulent and toxin-producing French isolate, MDC_Fg1.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Probiotic Lactobacillus brevis TUCO-5E, Isolated from Porcine MilkThis report describes the draft genome sequence of Lactobacillus brevis TUCO-5E, a probiotic strain isolated from porcine maternal milk. The reads were generated by a whole-genome sequencing (WGS) strategy on an Illumina MiSeq sequencer and were assembled into contigs with a total estimated size of 2,461,089 bp.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Bifidobacterium longum BB-79, a Strain That Produces Acid ExopolysaccharideThe surface exopolysaccharide of Bifidobacterium spp. was found to be involved in many processes, including bacterial colonization and host immune modulation.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Bordetella pertussis Clinical Isolate FR5810 and Reference Strain Tohama from Combined Oxford Nanopore and Illumina SequencingHere, we describe the complete genome sequences of two Bordetella pertussis strains, FR5810, a clinical isolate recovered from the respiratory tract of an infant, and Tohama, a key reference strain for the species. Sequences were obtained using a hybrid approach combining Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinION and Illumina NextSeq 500 sequence data.
