Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Strain PM004, a Novel Cultured Member of the Human Oral Microbiome from the Candidate Phylum Saccharibacteria (TM7)Strain PM004 is a cultured representative of human microbial taxon 955, a bacterium from the phylum Saccharibacteria. It is an obligate parasite with a genome of <0.9 Mb and can be grown in coculture with its host, Pseudopropionibacterium propionicum. The complete genome sequence is presented here.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Strain AC001, a Novel Cultured Member of the Human Oral Microbiome from the Candidate Phylum Saccharibacteria (TM7)Strain AC001 is a cultured representative of human microbial taxon 488, a bacterium from the candidate phylum Saccharibacteria. It is an obligate parasite with a genome of <0.9 Mb and grows in coculture with its host, Pseudopropionibacterium propionicum. The complete genome sequence is presented here.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Citrobacter freundii Myophage MaleficentCitrobacter freundii, a member of the Enterobacteriaceae family, has been linked to opportunistic infections in neonates and immunocompromised adults. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of a T4-like myophage, Maleficent, which infects C. freundii.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of a Mesophilic Obligately Chemolithoautotrophic Hydrogen-Oxidizing Bacterium, Hydrogenovibrio marinus MH-110Hydrogenovibrio marinus is a mesophilic, obligately chemolithoautotrophic, and hydrogen-oxidizing bacterium that uses three different RubisCOs at different carbon dioxide tensions. Here, we report its complete genome sequence, which is 2,491,293 bp long, with an average GC content of 44.1%.
Culture Collections/Mutant LibrariesEstablishing Renal Proximal Tubule Epithelial-Derived Cell Lines Expressing Human Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase for Studying BK PolyomavirusWe previously established an infection model for BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) in primary human renal proximal tubule epithelial (RPTE) cells. Use of these cells is limited by their inability to be passaged extensively. Here, we describe RPTE cells immortalized with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), which can serve as a model system for acute or persistent BKPyV infection.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Xanthomonas Siphophage SamsonThe Xanthomonas genus includes many Gram-negative plant-associated bacteria. Here, we report a virulent Xanthomonas siphophage called Samson. A siphophage isolated from sewage, Samson contains a 43,314-bp genome with 58 predicted genes. Samson has high nucleotide identity with Pseudomonas...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Stenotrophomonas Phage PokkenStenotrophomonas maltophilia is a Gram-negative bacterium associated with multidrug-resistant nosocomial infections, a problem for immunocompromised patients and those with cystic fibrosis. Here, we present the new S. maltophilia-infecting podophage Pokken. Its 76,239-bp genome, with 92 protein-...
Amplicon Sequence Collections16S rRNA Amplicon Sequencing of Sediment Bacterial Communities in an Oyster Farm in Rhode IslandLittle is known about the impact of oyster farming on sediment microbial communities. Here, we use 16S rRNA gene sequencing to identify bacterial communities in 24 sediment samples collected from an oyster farm in Ninigret Pond, RI. A total of 13,147 unique operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were assigned, with Proteobacteria being the dominant phyla across all samples.
Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of Oxalobacter formigenes Strain SSYG-15Colonization of the intestine with Oxalobacter formigenes reduces urinary oxalate excretion and lowers the risk of forming calcium oxalate kidney stones. Here, we report the genome sequence of Oxalobacter formigenes SSYG-15, a strain isolated from a stool sample from a healthy Chinese boy.

Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of an Unknown Subtype of Hepatitis C Virus Genotype 6: Another Piece for the Taxonomic PuzzleThe surveillance and correct subtyping of hepatitis C virus strains require available and up-to-date publicly available reference genomes. Here, we present the complete open reading frame sequence of a hepatitis C virus genotype 6 strain of an unknown subtype that was discovered during routine subtyping of patients in the clinic.
