Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of a Novel Swine Acute Diarrhea Syndrome Coronavirus, CH/FJWT/2018, Isolated in Fujian, China, in 2018The full-length genome sequence of a novel swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV), CH/FJWT/2018, was determined, which was genetically most closely related to CN/GDWT/2017, recently discovered in Fujian, China. The indel sites of the spike (S) gene of CH/FJWT/2018 were most similar to those of bat-origin SADS-related coronaviruses.
Genome SequencesFirst Complete Genome Sequence of a Hare Calicivirus Strain Isolated from Lepus europaeusThe first full-genome sequence of a hare calicivirus (HaCV), recently characterized as a novel member of the Caliciviridae, is described. This presumed nonpathogenic lagovirus is 7,433 nucleotides long, shows the same genomic organization as that of other lagoviruses, and has the highest nucleotide identity (79%) with pathogenic European brown hare syndrome viruses.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of WM99c, an Antibiotic-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Global Clone 2 (GC2) Strain Representing an Australian GC2 LineageThe extensively antibiotic-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolate WM99c recovered in Sydney, Australia, in 1999 is an early representative of a distinct lineage of global clone 2 (GC2) seen on the east coast of Australia. We present the complete 4.121-Mbp genome sequence (chromosome plus 2 plasmids), generated via long-read sequencing (PacBio).
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of “Candidatus Spirobacillus cienkowskii,” a Pathogen of Freshwater Daphnia Species, Reconstructed from Hemolymph Metagenomic Reads...We report here the near-complete genome sequence of “Candidatus Spirobacillus cienkowskii,” a spiral-shaped, red-pigmented uncultivated bacterial pathogen of Daphnia spp. The genome is 2.74 Mbp in size, has a GC content of 32.1%, and contains genes associated with bacterial motility and the production of carotenoids, which could explain the distinctive red color of hosts infected with this pathogen.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of 12 Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (Human Orthopneumovirus) Strains Detected in Children with Repeated Subgroup B Infections in the PhilippinesComplete genome sequences were determined for 12 human respiratory syncytial virus strains collected from nasopharyngeal samples obtained from children with repeated subgroup B infections. Eight common amino acid polymorphisms in the G, F, and L proteins were identified between the viruses detected in initial and subsequent infections.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Aquitalea sp. Strain MWU14-2217, Isolated from a Wild Cranberry Bog in Provincetown, MassachusettsAquitalea sp. strain MWU14-2217 was isolated from wild cranberry bog soils in the Cape Cod National Seashore.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Bradyrhizobium ottawaense OO99T, an Efficient Nitrogen-Fixing Symbiont of SoybeanWe present the complete genome sequence of Bradyrhizobium ottawaense strain OO99T, a nitrogen-fixing bacterium from root nodules of soybean. The genome consists of a single 8.6-Mb chromosome and includes a symbiosis island.
Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of Prosthecochloris sp. Strain ZM and Prosthecochloris sp. Strain ZM-2, Isolated from an Arctic Meromictic LakeDraft genome sequences of green-colored and brown-colored green sulfur bacteria (GSB), Prosthecochloris sp. ZM and Prosthecochloris sp.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of 72 Isolates from All Four Species of ShigellaShigella is a genus of Gram-negative enteric pathogenic bacteria which has four species, Shigella dysenteriae, S. flexneri, S. boydii, and...
Genome SequencesFull-Genome Sequencing of a Virus from a 33-Year-Old Sample Demonstrates that Arracacha Mottle Virus Is Synonymous with Arracacha Virus YWe describe here the first genome sequence of Arracacha virus Y (ArVY) derived from an arracacha (Arracacia xanthorrhiza) sample originally collected in 1976 in Peru and compare it with other potyvirus genome sequences. It had a 79% nucleotide identity with a 2013 Brazilian...
