Genome SequencesFirst Draft Genome Sequence of a Pearl Millet Blast Pathogen, Magnaporthe grisea Strain PMg_Dl, Obtained Using PacBio Single-Molecule Real-Time and Illumina NextSeq 500 SequencingThe first draft genome sequence of the pearl millet blast pathogen Magnaporthe grisea PMg_Dl from India is presented. The genome information of M. grisea will be useful to understand the Magnaporthe speciation, genetic diversity, environmental adaptation, and pathogenic and host range determinants.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Nine Mycobacteriophages from New Zealand, Beatrix, Carthage, Daegal, Dulcie, Fancypants, Fenn, Inca, Naira, and RobynBeatrix, Carthage, Daegal, Dulcie, Fancypants, Fenn, Inca, Naira, and Robyn are newly isolated bacteriophages capable of infecting Mycolicibacterium smegmatis mc2 155. We discovered, sequenced, and annotated these New Zealand bacteriophages.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Type VI Secretion System-Encoding Vibrio fischeri Strains FQ-A001 and ES401The type VI secretion system (T6SS) facilitates lethal competition between bacteria through direct contact. Comparative genomics has facilitated the study of these systems in Vibrio fischeri, which colonizes the squid host Euprymna scolopes.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Escherichia coli MT102, a Plasmid-Free Recipient Resistant to Rifampin, Azide, and Streptomycin, Used in Conjugation ExperimentsWe present here the complete genome sequence of Escherichia coli MT102, which is resistant to rifampin, azide, and streptomycin and is used as a recipient in plasmid transfer experiments. The sequence will be utilized for chromosomal read removal in plasmid sequence analyses obtained from transconjugants within this strain and in comprehensive genetic studies.

Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of a New Ebola Virus Strain Isolated during the 2017 Likati Outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the CongoGenomic sequencing for early identification of Ebola virus remains a big challenge in low-income countries. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of an Ebola virus strain obtained during the 2017 Likati outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) by using the Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) MinION sequencer.
Genome SequencesIllumina Sequencing Reveals the First Near-Complete Genome Sequence of Ugandan Passiflora VirusHere, we present the first near-complete genome of Ugandan Passiflora virus (UPV) sequenced from a symptomatic sample of KH7 passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims) variety. UPV had limited amino acid identity with other potyviruses known to cause passion fruit woodiness disease (PWD).
Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of a Bovine Isolate of Pasteurella multocida Strain 232We present here the genome sequence of Pasteurella multocida 232, a bacterium that is associated with pneumonia in humans as well as in many animal species. The genome of Pasteurella multocida 232 has an N50 value of 187.32 kb and a total size of 2.34 Mb.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of a Novel Marine Anaerobic Ammonium-Oxidizing Bacterium, “Candidatus Scalindua sp.”A novel anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacterium was detected in an upflow column reactor treating synthetic nitrogen-rich saline solution. Here, we assembled a 4.59-Mb draft genome sequence of this bacterium, identified as a member of the genus “Candidatus Scalindua,” that has 84% nucleotide-level genomic similarity with the closest related anammox bacterium (“Candidatus Scalindua rubra”).
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of the Aerobic Facultative Methanotroph Methylocella tundrae Strain T4Methylocella tundrae T4T is a facultative aerobic methanotroph which was isolated from an acidic tundra wetland and possesses only a soluble methane monooxygenase. The complete genome, which includes two megaplasmids, was sequenced using a combination of Illumina and Nanopore technologies.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis, Leishmania (Leishmania) mexicana, and Leishmania (Leishmania) aethiopica, Potential Etiological Agents of Diffuse Cutaneous LeishmaniasisWe present here the draft genome sequences of Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis, Leishmania (Leishmania) mexicana, and Leishmania (Leishmania) aethiopica, potential...
