Genome SequencesMetagenome-Assembled Genomes of 12 Bacterial Species from Biofouled Plastic Fabrics Harbor Multiple Genes for Degradation of HydrocarbonsWe report the metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) of 12 different bacterial species recovered from environmental microbiomes associated with biofouled plastic fabrics. The MAGs have estimated sizes of 2.53 to 7.66 Mb with 3,229 to 9,289 proteins, 26.20% to 99.1% genome completeness, 48.9% to 72.6% G+C content, and multiple genes for hydrocarbon degradation.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Bacillus sp. Strain V3, Isolated from Mangrove Sediments in Wenzhou, ChinaWe present the complete genome sequence of Bacillus sp. strain V3, which was isolated from mangrove sediments from Yanpu Bay, Wenzhou, China. The 4.44-Mb genome sequence of V3 will be useful for studying the functional genes with potential industrial application of this species from mangrove sediments.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Four Aerobic Isobutane-Metabolizing BacteriaHere, we report the draft genome sequences of four aerobic gaseous alkane-oxidizing bacteria isolated from soil by enrichment culture using isobutane (2-methylpropane) as the sole carbon and energy source. The sequences all reveal microorganisms with multiple alkane-oxidizing monooxygenases, including soluble di-iron monooxygenases (SDIMOs), copper-containing monooxygenases (CuMMOs), and alkane hydroxylases (AHs).
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of the Endosymbiotic Bacterium “Candidatus Riesia pediculicola”Human head and body lice host the obligate endosymbiotic bacterium “Candidatus Riesia pediculicola.” In this announcement, we describe the complete genome sequence of a “Ca. Riesia pediculicola” strain isolated from the human head louse, Pediculus humanus subsp. capitis. The inter- and intraspecific variations of endosymbiont genomes were...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Francisella marina Strains E95-16 and E103-15, Isolated from Maricultured Spotted Rose Snapper (Lutjanus guttatus) on the Pacific Coast of Central AmericaIn 2015 and 2016, a previously unrecognized Francisella sp. was isolated from disease outbreaks in maricultured spotted rose snapper (Lutjanus guttatus) on the Pacific coast of Central America. Polyphasic analysis demonstrated that these bacteria differed from any known Francisella spp. Here, the complete genomes from the recently described ...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Three Multidrug-Resistant Staphylococcus spp. Isolated from Hospital Wastewater in MalaysiaStaphylococcus spp. are Gram-positive bacteria that reside within the normal microbiota of humans and animals but pose a health threat as reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance genes. Here, we present the draft genome sequences of three Staphylococcus sp. strains isolated from hospital wastewater in...
Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of Ruloma Virus, a Novel Paramyxovirus Clustering Basally to Members of the Genus JeilongvirusWe report here the complete genome sequence of ruloma virus, a novel paramyxovirus detected in a Machangu’s brush-furred rat from Tanzania. Ruloma virus has the longest orthoparamyxovirus genome reported to date and forms a sister clade to all currently known members of the genus Jeilongvirus.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Three Clinical Listeria monocytogenes Sequence Type 8 Strains from Recent German Listeriosis OutbreaksWe report here the closed genome sequences of three clinical Listeria monocytogenes strains of multilocus sequence typing (MLST) sequence type 8 (ST8). These strains are representatives of three separate listeriosis outbreak clusters (Alpha1, Pi4, and Sigma1) that affected Germany between 2012 and 2020.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of an Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida Strain from the Canadian Pacific Coast Bearing a Variant of pRAS1The genome sequencing of Aeromonas salmonicida subspecies salmonicida strain 2004-072 revealed a plasmid bearing a region carrying antibiotic resistance genes very similar to the one found in the plasmid pRAS1, an IncU family plasmid. This new plasmid was named pRAS1b.
Amplicon Sequence Collections16S rRNA Gene Amplicon Profiling of the New Zealand Parasitic Blowfly Calliphora vicinaHere, we present a 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequence data set and profiles demonstrating the bacterial diversity of larval and adult Calliphora vicina, collected from Ashhurst, New Zealand (May 2020). The three dominant genera among the adult male and female C. vicina were Serratia and Morganella (phylum Proteobacteria) and ...
