Genome SequencesMitochondrial Genome Sequence of the Land Snail Oreohelix idahoensisWe announce the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Oreohelix idahoensis, a threatened land snail endemic to the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The circular genome is 14.2 kb and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 21 tRNA genes.
Genome SequencesWhole-Genome Sequencing of a Brucella melitensis Strain (BMWS93) Isolated from a Bank Clerk and Exhibiting Complete Resistance to RifampinHuman brucellosis has become the most severe public health problem in the Ulanqab region of Inner Mongolia, China. Brucella melitensis BMWS93 was obtained from a blood sample taken from a bank clerk in the Ulanqab region of Inner Mongolia, China, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing in vitro showed no zone of inhibition, which confirmed resistance to...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Bifidobacterium longum ZJ1, Isolated from a Centenarian in Anhui, ChinaHere, we present the complete genome sequence of a Bifidobacterium longum isolate, that of strain ZJ1, and this strain showed a cholesterol degradation ability that is greater than that of five strains we chose for comparison (Bifidobacterium longum 536,...
Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of Pseudomonas Phage UMP151, Isolated from the Female Bladder Microbiota...A temperate bacteriophage, designated UMP151, was isolated from a Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain from a catheterized urine sample of a woman with overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms. The 41,303-bp genome sequence of Pseudomonas phage UMP151 exhibits sequence similarity to prophage and lytic phage sequences isolated from other areas of the human body.
Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of an Aspergillus flavus CA14 Strain That Is Widely Used in Gene Function StudiesAspergillus flavus produces aflatoxins that adversely impact human health and the economy. We report the genome sequence of A. flavus CA14 that has been widely used in gene function studies. The information will benefit A. flavus...
Genome SequencesGenomic Characterization of an Echovirus 7 Isolate of Southeast Asian Ancestry Recovered from a Child in Nigeria with Acute Flaccid ParalysisHere, we describe the genome of an echovirus 7 (E7) isolate of Southeast Asian ancestry recovered from a child in Nigeria with acute flaccid paralysis (AFP). The genome has 7,295 nucleotides (nt) and an open reading frame (ORF) with 2,195 amino acids.
Genome SequencesElucidation of the Genome of Bradyrhizobium sp. Strain USDA 3456, a Historic Agricultural Diazotroph from Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata)Bradyrhizobium sp. strain USDA 3456 is a historic strain from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service (ARS) National Rhizobium Germplasm Collection isolated from Vigna unguiculata (cowpea) in 1966. Strain USDA 3456 has been utilized in global...
Genome SequencesGenome Sequences and Methylation Patterns of Natrinema versiforme BOL5-4 and Natrinema pallidum BOL6-1, Two Extremely Halophilic Archaea from a Bolivian Salt MineTwo extremely halophilic archaea, namely, Natrinema versiforme BOL5-4 and Natrinema pallidum BOL6-1, were isolated from a Bolivian salt mine and their genomes sequenced using single-molecule real-time sequencing. The GC-rich genomes of BOL5-4 and BOL6-1 were 4.6 and 3.8 Mbp, respectively, with large...
Genome SequencesGenome Sequences of 18 Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus Outbreak Strains of Serotype O Sublineage Ind2001d from India, 2013 to 2014We report the full polyprotein-coding sequences and partial untranslated regions (UTRs) of 18 foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) viruses from 4 outbreaks in India in 2013 and 2014. All strains grouped within the O/ME-SA/Ind2001d sublineage. These genomes update knowledge of FMD virus (FMDV) diversity in South Asia and may contribute to molecular epidemiology studies and vaccine selections.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Azoarcus sp. Strain DD4, a Gram-Negative Propanotroph That Degrades 1,4-Dioxane and 1,1-DichloroethyleneAzoarcus sp. strain DD4 can cometabolically degrade 1,4-dioxane and 1,1-dichloroethylene (1,1-DCE) when grown with propane and other substrates. The complete genome sequence of strain DD4 reveals a diverse collection of bacterial monooxygenase genes that may contribute to its versatility in degrading commingled groundwater pollutants.
