Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Kroppenstedtia sanguinis X0209T, a Clinical Isolate Recovered from Human BloodKroppenstedtia sanguinis X0209T, a thermoactinomycete, was isolated from the blood of a patient in Sweden. We report on the draft genome sequence obtained with an Illumina MiSeq instrument. The assembled genome totaled 3.73 Mb and encoded 3,583 proteins. Putative genes for virulence, transposons, and biosynthetic gene clusters have been identified.

Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Alkalicoccus saliphilus DSM 15402T, a Haloalkaliphilic Bacterium Isolated from a Mineral PoolThe haloalkaliphilic bacterium Alkalicoccus saliphilus DSM 15402T was isolated from a mineral pool. It grows aerobically at an optimum of 15% (wt/vol) salinity and pH 9.0. The draft genome consists of approximately 3.52 Mb and contains 3,434 predicted genes. Various genes are potentially involved in the adaptation mechanisms for both osmotic stress and pH...
Genome SequencesWhole-Genome Sequence of Monascus purpureus GB-01, an Industrial Strain for Food Colorant ProductionWe report the draft genome sequence of Monascus purpureus GB-01, an industrial strain used as a food colorant. De novo assembly of long reads resulted in 121 chromosomal contigs and 1 mitochondrial contig, and sequencing errors were corrected by paired-end short reads. This genome sequence will provide useful information for azaphilone pigments and mycotoxin...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Thiobacimonas sp. Strain D13, a Phthalate Ester-Degrading Bacterium Isolated from Deep-Sea SedimentsThiobacimonas sp. strain D13, newly isolated from the sediments of the southeastern Pacific, can effectively degrade phthalate ester. Here, we report the 5.22-Mbp draft genome sequence of this strain, which will provide insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying its degradation ability.
Genome SequencesWhole-Genome Sequence of Brucella melitensis Strain B7, Isolated from a Blood Sample of a Brucellosis Patient from Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia, China...We report here the draft genome sequence of Brucella melitensis strain B7, isolated from a blood sample of a brucellosis patient from Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia, China. This report describes the genome sequence of a human B. melitensis isolate, which is endemic in this area of China.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Hospital-Acquired Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strain WCUH29The hospital-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (HA-MRSA) strain WCUH29 has been intensively and widely used as a model system for identification and evaluation of novel antibacterial targets and pathogenicity. In this announcement, we report the complete genome sequence of HA-MRSA WCUH29 (NCIMB 40771).
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Escherichia coli Myophage MinornaThe Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli causes many diseases, and antibiotic resistance has become a problem for their treatment. Bacteriophages may present a viable treatment alternative.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Novel Sequence Type 3559 Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates Recovered from the EnvironmentHere, we report a novel sequence type, 3559, from four genomes of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from South African hospital wastewater, influent wastewater, river water, and riverbed sediment. The genome annotation indicated a wide variety of resistance genes, including blaKPC-2, and virulence factors revealing their possible pathogenicity.
