Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of the Cluster F1 Mycobacteriophage KingMidasSubcluster F1 bacteriophage KingMidas was isolated from soil collected in Providence, Rhode Island, using Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155 as the host. The genome is 57,386 bp and contains 105 predicted protein-coding genes but no transfer-messenger RNAs or tRNAs. This siphovirus has an icosahedral head, with a genome 99.1% identical to that of F1...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium Chester (DSM 44156)Here, we announce the complete genome sequence of the Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium strain DSM 44156, also deposited as ATCC 25291 and TMC 724. The reference strain was originally described as a serotype 2 strain isolated from a hen by F. D. Chester in 1901.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Akkermansia muciniphila JCM 30893, Isolated from Feces of a Healthy Japanese MaleAkkermansia muciniphila is an anaerobic and mucin-degrading bacterium in the human gut. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Akkermansia muciniphila JCM 30893 harboring the plasmid pJ30893.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Leptospira interrogans Serovar Copenhageni Strains Isolated from Patients with Weil’s Disease in BrazilLeptospirosis is a worldwide zoonosis caused by pathogenic species of Leptospira. In Brazil, this disease is endemic, presenting epidemic potential in rainy seasons. Here, we announce the whole-genome sequences of two L. interrogans serovar Copenhageni strains isolated from blood samples from two icteric patients associated with severe leptospirosis in Brazil...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Phenol-Degrading Variovorax boronicumulans Strain HAB-30We report the draft genome sequence of Variovorax boronicumulans strain HAB-30, which was isolated from a phenol-degrading chemostat culture. This strain contains genes encoding a multicomponent type of phenol hydroxylase, with degradation pathways for catechol and other aromatic compounds. The genome sequence will be useful for understanding the metabolic pathways...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Paenibacillus polymyxa 3A-25AI, a Strain Antagonist to Root Rot Causal PhytopathogensHere, we report the draft genome sequence of the Paenibacillus polymyxa 3A-25AI strain, isolated from the rhizosphere of wild grass. This strain inhibits Phytophthora capsici and Rhizoctonia solani phytopathogens. The genome size...
Genome SequencesWhole-Genome Sequence of Fish-Pathogenic Enterococcus faecalis Strain BFFF11A fish-pathogenic bacterium, Enterococcus faecalis strain BFFF11, was isolated from a tilapia suffering from streptococcosis in a fish farm in the Gazipur district of Bangladesh. The whole genome of this strain, BFFF11, was 3,067,042 bp, with a GC content of 37.4%.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strain LMG 1272, an Atypical White Line Reaction ProducerThe draft genome sequence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa LMG 1272, isolated from mushroom, is reported here. This strain triggers formation of a precipitate (“white line”) when cocultured with Pseudomonas tolaasii. However, LMG 1272 lacks the capacity to produce a cyclic lipopeptide that is typically...
Genome SequencesComplete Coding Sequence of a Swine Influenza A Variant (H3N2) Virus Isolated in the Republic of Korea in 2017Cases of human infection with a swine influenza A virus variant have been reported in the United States, and since 2011, H3N2 variant viruses have also been regularly isolated from swine in the Republic of Korea. Here, we genetically characterized an influenza A H3N2 isolate (A/swine/P17-4/2017). BLASTN analysis of the 8 gene sequences revealed a high degree of nucleotide similarity (97.0 to 99.0%) to porcine strains circulating in the...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Campylobacter jejuni Strains Isolated from PoultryFour wild-type Campylobacter jejuni strains isolated from the cecal contents of broiler chickens were sequenced. The average genome size was 1,622,170 bp, with 1,667 to 1,761 coding sequences and 47 to 51 RNAs. Multiple genes encoding motility, intestinal colonization, toxin production, stress tolerance, and multidrug resistance were present in all the strains.
