Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Bacillus velezensis OSY-GA1, Which Encodes Multiple Antimicrobial Metabolites and Expresses Antimicrobial Activity against Foodborne PathogensBacillus velezensis OSY-GA1 is a Gram-positive soil bacterium that exhibits antagonistic activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative foodborne pathogens. Here, we present the strain’s draft genome, which is 4,009,999 bp long with an average G+C content of 46.2%.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Heavy Metal-Resistant Bacillus cereus NWUAB01Bacillus cereus NWUAB01 was isolated from a gold-mining site in Vryburg, South Africa, for its multiple heavy metal resistance properties. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of B. cereus NWUAB01 obtained with Illumina sequencing.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Halocella sp. Strain SP3-1, an Extremely Halophilic, Glycoside Hydrolase- and Bacteriocin-Producing Bacterium Isolated from a Salt Evaporation PondHalocella sp. strain SP3-1, a cellulose-degrading bacterium, was isolated from a hypersaline evaporation pond in Thailand.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of the UV-Resistant Antarctic Bacterium Sphingomonas sp. Strain UV9We report the draft genome sequence of the Antarctic UV-resistant bacterium Sphingomonas sp. strain UV9. The strain has a genome size of 4.25 Mb, a 65.62% GC content, and 3,879 protein-coding sequences.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Human Astrovirus Prototype Strains (Types 1 to 8)We report the complete genome sequences of the eight human astrovirus Oxford prototype strains. These sequences share 94.9% to 99.9% nucleotide identity with open reading frame 2 (ORF2) genes of astrovirus genomes previously deposited in GenBank and include the first complete genome of human astrovirus type 7.
Genome SequencesNear-Complete Human Sapovirus Genome Sequences from KenyaWe report five near-complete sapovirus genome sequences, including GI.3, GII.2, and GII.6 and two novel GII.NA (not assigned) strains. These new sequences expand the collection of human sapoviruses, allowing for a more accurate phylogenetic analysis of circulating strains and for designing broadly reactive primers for their detection and typing.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Assembly of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis IP2666pIB1Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, closely related to Yersinia pestis, is a human pathogen and model organism for studying bacterial pathogenesis. To aid in genomic analysis and understanding bacterial virulence, we sequenced and assembled the complete genome of the human pathogen...
Genome SequencesDraft Genomic Sequence of Escherichia coli Sequence Type 131, Isolated from Retail Chicken SkinEscherichia coli sequence type 131 (ST131) is a foodborne pathogen increasingly associated with urinary tract infections. We report here the draft genomic sequence of ST131 B7S75, isolated from retail chicken skin, including information about its virulence factors and antibiotic resistance.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Dickeya dianthicola ME23, a Pathogen Causing Blackleg and Soft Rot Diseases of PotatoIn 2014, an outbreak of potato blackleg and soft rot disease emerged in North America and continues to impact potato production. Here, we report the annotated genome sequence of Dickeya dianthicola ME23, a strain hypothesized to be representative of the bacterial population responsible for this disease outbreak.
Omics Data SetsMetagenomics of the Viral Community in Three Cattle Slurry SamplesThe diversity of viruses in slurries from dairy farming remains largely uncharacterized. Here we report viral diversity found in cattle slurry from a dairy farm in the East Midlands in the United Kingdom.
