Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Thiorhodococcus mannitoliphagus and Thiorhodococcus minor, Purple Sulfur Photosynthetic Bacteria in the Gammaproteobacterial Family ChromatiaceaeWe have determined the draft genome sequences of Thiorhodococcus mannitoliphagus and Thiorhodococcus minor for comparison with those of T. drewsii and Imhoffiella...
Genome SequencesNear-Complete Genome Sequence of a Newly Emerging Subgenotype of Atypical Porcine PestivirusThis study reports the near-complete genome sequence of GD-CT4, a strain of a newly emerging subgenotype of atypical porcine pestivirus detected in a newborn piglet with congenital tremors in Guangdong Province, China. This sequence will improve the understanding of the epidemiology and genetic characteristics of atypical porcine pestivirus.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Four Microcystis aeruginosa Strains (NIES-3787, NIES-3804, NIES-3806, and NIES-3807) Isolated from Lake Kasumigaura, JapanMicrocystis aeruginosa is a bloom-forming cyanobacterium found in freshwater environments. The draft genomes of the M. aeruginosa strains NIES-3787, NIES-3804, NIES-3806, and NIES-3807, which were isolated from Lake Kasumigaura, Japan, were sequenced. The genome sizes of NIES-3787, NIES-3804, NIES-3806, and NIES-3807 were 4,524,637, 4,522,701, 4,370,004, and...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of the Cryptophycin-Producing Cyanobacterium Nostoc sp. Strain ATCC 53789Nostoc sp. strain ATCC 53789 is a producer of cryptophycins, which are promising anticancer agents. Here, we report the completely sequenced 8.7-Mb genome of Nostoc sp. strain ATCC 53789. The sequence provides insights into the metabolic network of this cyanobacterial strain and illuminates its potential for the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of the Yeast Rhodotorula sp. Strain CCFEE 5036, Isolated from McMurdo Dry Valleys, AntarcticaA draft genome sequence was assembled and annotated of the basidiomycetous yeast Rhodotorula sp. strain CCFEE 5036, isolated from Antarctic soil communities. The genome assembly is 19.07 megabases and encodes 6,434 protein-coding genes. The sequence will contribute to understanding the diversity of fungi inhabiting polar regions.
Genome SequencesIdentification of Metagenome-Assembled Genomes Containing Antimicrobial Resistance Genes, Isolated from an Advanced Water Treatment FacilityHere, we present 95 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) that harbor antimicrobial resistance genes, isolated from samples obtained in a large advanced wastewater reclamation facility prior to microfiltration. The MAGs were not in abundance after filtration at the facility and represent a useful resource to the water treatment community at large.
Genome SequencesCharacterization of the Enterobacter Phage vB_EclM_CIP9Enterobacter cloacae is an opportunistic pathogen that causes hospital-acquired infections in immunocompromised patients. Here, we describe vB_EclM_CIP9, a novel Enterobacter phage that infects a multidrug-resistant isolate of E. cloacae. Phage vB_EclM_CIP9 is a myovirus that has a 174,924-...
Genome SequencesSequencing and Characterization of Five Extensively Drug-Resistant Salmonella enterica Serotype Typhi Isolates Implicated in Human Infections from Punjab, PakistanA large outbreak of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi infections is ongoing in Pakistan, predominantly in Sindh Province. Here, we report the sequencing and characterization of five XDR Salmonella Typhi isolates from the Punjab province of Pakistan that are closely related to the outbreak strain and carry the same IncY...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Desulfovibrio sulfodismutans ThAc01, a Heterotrophic Sulfur-Disproportionating Member of the DesulfobacterotaHere, we describe the genome of Desulfovibrio sulfodismutans ThAc01, a Desulfobacterota member first isolated from freshwater mud and the first strain reported to be capable of growth via sulfur disproportionation. As such, this genome expands our understanding of the diversity of sulfur-disproportionating microorganisms.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Verrucosispora sp. Strain CWR15, Isolated from a Gulf of Mexico SpongeHere, we present the draft genome sequence of Verrucosispora sp. strain CWR15, a bacterial symbiont of a Gulf of Mexico sponge. The genome consists of 35 contigs encoding 5,840 genes. The genome is the basis for future study and presents an underexplored taxonomy and biosynthetic potential.
