Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Human Oral Phylogroup 1 Treponema sp. Strain OMZ 804 (ATCC 700766), Originally Isolated from Periodontitis Dental PlaqueHost-associated treponeme bacteria play etiological roles in human and animal soft tissue infections. Treponema sp. strain OMZ 804 (ATCC 700766) was isolated from dental plaque sampled from a patient with periodontitis in Switzerland in 1994. We report here the complete genome sequence of its 2.98-Mb circular chromosome.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Two Potentially Novel Bacillus Isolates from Backyard and Commercial Chicken Gastrointestinal TractsHere, we present the draft genome sequences of two Bacillus strains, HF117_J1_D and USDA818B3_A, isolated in Pomona, California, from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract of backyard and commercial broiler chickens, respectively. The draft genomes of both strains appear to represent novel species.
Genome SequencesCoding-Complete Genome Sequences of Two SARS-CoV-2 Isolates from EgyptThis report announces the complete genome sequences of two severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) isolates detected in Egypt. The isolates were obtained from oropharyngeal swab specimens from two Egyptians in Upper and Lower Egypt. Sequence analysis showed mutations that differentiate Egyptian strains from the reference strain 2019-nCoV WHU01.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of SARS-CoV-2 in a Tiger from a U.S. Zoological CollectionThis report describes the identification and characterization of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in a Malayan tiger in a U.S. zoo.
Amplicon Sequence CollectionsMicrobial Diversity of the Hell Creek Watershed at the Tri-Faith Community in Nebraska, Based on 16S rRNA Gene Amplicon SequencingHell Creek’s watershed is a historically important native land area located in Omaha, Nebraska, that includes Hell Creek and an adjacent flood plain. This initial microbial analysis showed that even though samples were isolated from the same watershed area, there were significant differences between the creek itself and the nearby pond.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of the Plant Pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum Strain CIAT-078, Isolated in Colombia, Obtained Using Oxford Nanopore TechnologyMoko is one of the main diseases affecting banana and plantain in Colombia. Here, we report the genome sequence of the causal agent, the bacterium Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith) strain CIAT-078, collected in 2004 from affected plantains in central-west Colombia. The assembled genome was obtained using Oxford Nanopore Technology.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Ochrobactrum sp. Strain MC-1LL, a Bacterial Strain with Antimicrobial Properties, Isolated from Marine Sediments in NigeriaHere, we report a 4.3-Mb draft genome sequence of a potential new Ochrobactrum species, which clarified its taxonomic position and gave insight into the complete secondary metabolite production capacity of the strain.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Enterococcus faecalis UMB1309, Isolated from Catheterized Urine...A strain of Enterococcus faecalis was isolated from catheterized urine. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of this isolate, E. faecalis UMB1309. Analysis of the genome revealed multiple genes coding for virulence factors, as well as genes associated with antibiotic resistance.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Enterococcus faecalis UMB7780, Isolated from the Female Urinary TractHere, we present the draft genome sequence of Enterococcus faecalis UMB7780, isolated from the female urinary tract. The genome size is 3,005,901 bp, with a GC content of 37.36%, genome coverage of 179×, and an N50 score of 169,627 bp. Genome analysis identified evidence of antibiotic resistance, as well as intact prophages.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Shewanella sp. Strain ISO12, a Candidate Probiotic Isolated from the Intestine of Fundulus heteroclitusThe genome of Shewanella sp. strain ISO12, which was isolated from the intestine of wild-caught Fundulus heteroclitus, was sequenced and is reported here. Bioinformatic analysis revealed genes encoding the bacteriocin marinocine and those potentially associated with probiotic activity. The genome sequence will assist in further identifying probiotic and other antibacterial processes.
