Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of a Minacovirus Strain from a Farmed Mink in The NetherlandsWe report the genome sequence of a Minacovirus strain identified from a fecal sample from a farmed mink (Neovison vison) in The Netherlands that was tested negative for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) using real-time PCR (RT-PCR). The viral genome sequence was obtained using agnostic deep sequencing.
Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of Streptomyces sp. Strain HB-N217, Isolated from the Marine Sponge Forcepia sp.The genome sequence of the Forcepia sponge-derived bacterium Streptomyces sp. strain HB-N217 was determined, with approximately 8.25 Mbp and a G+C content of 72.1%. Thirty biosynthetic gene clusters that bear the capability to produce secondary metabolites were predicted. The results will aid marine natural product chemistry and sponge-microbe association studies.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of a Novel Mycoplasma Species Identified from the Respiratory Tract of an Alaska Moose (Alces alces gigas)The mycoplasmas represent a large and diverse group of bacteria, many of which are pathogens of humans and animals. Here, we describe a draft genome sequence of a novel Mycoplasma species. This novel Mycoplasma species has potential to cause false-positive PCR results for Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae, a respiratory-associated pathogen of ruminants.

Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Escherichia coli Strain FEX669, a ColV Plasmid-Containing Isolate from Retail Chicken MeatEscherichia coli strain FEX669 was isolated from retail ground chicken and shown to contain the extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) virulence genes sfaD/focC and iutA. Because this presumptive ExPEC strain was isolated from a retail food item and it was a weak biofilm former...
Amplicon Sequence CollectionsHigh-Throughput Sequencing Survey of Sunflower SoilPlant rhizobiomes are responsible for major soil processes in the immediate plant environment, but our knowledge of the linkage between below-ground microbiota diversity and plant health is limited. We studied the bacterial and archaeal communities of sunflower rhizosphere organisms by comparing the composition of these communities in bulk soil at three farms in the North West province of South Africa. We evaluated and described a...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Invasive Salmonella enterica Serovar Cannstatt Harboring mcr-1.1, Isolated from a Fatal Sepsis CaseHere, we report the whole-genome sequence of multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Cannstatt harboring mcr-1.1, isolated from a fatal sepsis case. Genomic analysis revealed that the isolate was sequence type 2390 carrying mcr-1.1, blaCTX-M-14, aac(3)IId, aac(6′)Iaa, floR, qnrS1, ...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Campylobacter hepaticus USA52, Associated with Chicken Spotty Liver DiseaseCampylobacter hepaticus was recently identified as the etiological agent of chicken spotty liver disease. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of C. hepaticus strain USA52 from the United States. The genome comprises a chromosome of 1,509,100 bp with an average GC content of 28.02%.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Paenibacillus sp. Strain 37, a Plant Growth-Promoting Bacterium Isolated from the Rhizosphere of Abies nordmanniana (Nordmann Fir)We report the complete genome sequence of Paenibacillus sp. strain 37, a plant growth-promoting bacterium (PGPB) isolated from the rhizosphere of Abies nordmanniana (Stev.) Spach; it contains a single chromosome of 7.08 Mbp and one plasmid of 54.33 kbp, including 6,445 protein-coding genes, 107 tRNAs, and 13 rRNA loci.
Omics Data SetsMetagenome Assembly and Metagenome-Assembled Genome Sequences from the Rhizosphere of Maize Plants in Mafikeng, South AfricaThe rhizosphere microbiome plays an essential role in enhancing the growth of plants, raising the need for comprehension of their metabolic abilities. Here, we investigated rhizospheric and bulk soils of maize plants in Mafikeng, South Africa. Metagenome-assembled genomes containing plant growth-promoting genes were reconstructed.
Genome SequencesIn-Frame 12-Nucleotide Deletion within Open Reading Frame 3a in a SARS-CoV-2 Strain Isolated from a Patient Hospitalized with COVID-19Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) strain UF-8, with an in-frame 12-nucleotide deletion within open reading frame 3a (ORF3a), was isolated from a 78-year-old COVID-19 patient in March 2020.
