Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Two Phylogenetically Distinct Clostridium gasigenes Strains, CM001 and CM004, Isolated from Chilled Vacuum-Packed MeatWe present the draft genome sequences of Clostridium gasigenes strains CM001 and CM004. The genomes are 4,147,089 and 4,191,074 bp with GC contents of 28.7% and 28.8%, respectively. Although both strains belong to the same species, whole-genome sequence-based analyses reveal that the strains are phylogenetically distinct.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Streptococcus pyogenes Serotype M3, M28, and M89 Strains Isolated from Human Patients in Japan, 1994 to 2009Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus [GAS]) is a major human pathogen that occasionally causes severe and life-threatening invasive diseases. Here, we report the complete genome sequences of four GAS strains of three M types, which were isolated from patients with severe invasive disease in...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Three Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum Isolates Used in Designing Markers for Race DifferentiationHere, we report the draft genome sequences of three Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum isolates that were used to design markers for molecular race differentiation. The isolates were collected from watermelon fields in Georgia (USA) and were determined to be different races of F. oxysporum f. sp. niveum using a traditional bioassay.

Genome SequencesNearly Complete Genome Assembly of the Pinewood Nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Strain Ka4C1...Bursaphelenchus xylophilus has been destroying pine forests in East Asia and western Europe. Here, we report its nearly complete genomic sequence containing five ∼12-Mb scaffolds and one ∼15-Mb scaffold representing six chromosomes. Large repeat regions that were previously unidentified are now reasonably integrated, particularly in the ∼15-Mb scaffold.
Omics Data SetsTranscriptome Sequencing Data Sets of Human Lung Epithelial Cells in the Course of Francisella tularensis InfectionFrancisella tularensis is a highly infectious intracellular bacterium representing the causative agent of tularemia, a severe disease which requires prompt antibacterial intervention for mitigating its potential high mortality. Inhaled bacteria interact with lung cells belonging to various subpopulations, including those of the epithelium.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Two Virulent Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus Swine Isolates from PennsylvaniaDraft genome sequences of two outbreak isolates of Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus from one of the Pennsylvania swine herds affected with high mortality and morbidity are reported here. The genome analysis revealed that the isolates are closely related to a virulent strain originally identified in China.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of a Potential Commercial Biocellulose Producer, Strain Komagataeibacter europaeus GH1In this work, we present the draft genome sequence of Komagataeibacter europaeus strain GH1 which is an extremely efficient biocellulose producer.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of an Acetic Acid Bacterium, Acetobacter aceti JCM20276Acetobacter aceti is used in industry to produce vinegar by converting ethanol into acetic acid. We determined the complete genome sequence of A. aceti JCM20276, which is composed of one chromosome and four plasmids. This study may contribute to a better understanding of the genes necessary for acetic acid production.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Chromobacterium violaceum RDN09, Isolated from a Patient with a Wound Infection in BangladeshChromobacterium violaceum is an emerging environmental opportunistic pathogen that causes life-threatening infections in humans. Here, we describe the draft genome sequence of Chromobacterium violaceum RDN09, isolated from the infected wound of an adult male patient in Bangladesh. The genome...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Klebsiella Species Isolated from the International Space StationIsolated across four locations aboard the International Space Station (ISS), 10 bacterial strains were compared using whole-genome sequencing analysis and were phylogenetically identified as Klebsiella. The whole-genome sequences will aid in comparative genomic studies of ISS Klebsiella strains with Earth counterparts, to gain insight into their adaptation to space conditions.
