Genome SequencesIdentification of the Coding-Complete Genome of Cycas Necrotic Stunt Virus in Transcriptomic Data Sets of Alfalfa (Medicago sativa)We present evidence here that alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) can be a natural host species for a new strain of Cycas necrotic stunt virus (CNSV), for which the name CNSV-A (alfalfa) is proposed. Prior to this report, the virus has not been identified in alfalfa.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Four Salmonella enterica Strains Associated with Pistachios Assembled Using a Combination of Short- and Long-Read SequencingHere, we report the genomes of two Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Montevideo strains (CFSAN005645 and FCC0123) and two Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Senftenberg strains (FSW0104 and CFSAN087304...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Streptomyces sp. Strain AM-2504, Identified by 16S rRNA Comparative Analysis as a Streptomyces kasugaensis StrainWe report here the draft genome sequence of Streptomyces sp. strain AM-2504, a microorganism producing a broad range of biotechnologically relevant molecules. The comparative analysis of its 16S rRNA sequence allowed the assignment of this strain to the Streptomyces kasugaensis species, thus fostering functional characterization of the secondary metabolites...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Escherichia coli DSM 12242, a Highly Efficient Host Strain for the Isolation of Somatic ColiphagesHere, we report the draft genome sequence and characterization of the commercial strain Escherichia coli DSM 12242 (=ATCC 13706/60 =NZRM 3262) derived from strain C (ATCC 13706), which is suitable for the isolation of coliphages from environmental and clinical samples.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of the Griseofulvin-Producing Fungus Xylaria flabelliformis Strain G536The draft genome of the ascomycete fungus Xylaria flabelliformis (previously known as Xylaria cubensis) was sequenced using Illumina paired-end technology. The assembled genome is 41.2 Mb long and contains 11,404 genes. This genome will contribute to our understanding of X. flabelliformis...
Genome SequencesGenome Sequences of 11 Conspecific Streptomyces sp. StrainsThe genomes of 11 conspecific Streptomyces strains, i.e., from the same species and inhabiting the same ecological niche, were sequenced and assembled. This data set offers an ideal framework to assess the genome evolution of Streptomyces species in their ecological context.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Multidrug-Resistant Proteus mirabilis CKTH01, Isolated from Raw Chicken MeatProteus mirabilis CKTH01 is a pathogenic bacterium isolated from raw chicken meat. The genome sequence of P. mirabilis CKTH01 contains genes encoding multidrug efflux pumps, which are the virulence factors of the antibiotic-resistant bacterium. This 3.98-Mb draft genome sequence of...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Lactobacillus crispatus Strain V4, Isolated from a Vaginal Swab from a Young Healthy Nonmenopausal WomanLactobacillus crispatus strain V4 was isolated from a vaginal swab from a healthy nonmenopausal 35-year-old French woman. We report here its draft genome sequence of 2,091,889 bp, with an average G+C content of 37.02%.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Two Klebsiella pneumoniae Phages Isolated as Part of an International Effort...We report the genomic sequences of phages KpCHEMY26 and KpGranit, isolated in Israel during a worldwide effort against a multidrug- and phage-resistant strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae from a patient in Finland. These results demonstrate the importance of an efficient worldwide network for collaborating in personalized therapy for infectious diseases.
Genome SequencesRevealing the Draft Genome Sequence of Bradyrhizobium sp. Strain USDA 3458, an Effective Symbiotic Diazotroph Isolated from Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) Genotype IT82E-16Pairing plants with plant growth-promoting bacteria is critical to the future of agriculture. Bradyrhizobium sp. strain USDA 3458 isolated from Vigna unguiculata (cowpea) paired with cowpea genotype IT82E-16 represents a novel combination in arid regions. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of...
