Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Pseudomonas sp. Strain CES, Containing the Entire Alkylxanthine Gene Cluster for Caffeine BreakdownPseudomonas strain CES was isolated from caffeine-enriched soil and found to possess the N-demethylation pathway for caffeine breakdown. We report the nucleotide sequence of the draft genome with 5,827,822 bp, 62.6% G+C content, and 5,427 protein-coding regions.
Genome SequencesSequencing and Annotation of Duggie and Hocus, Two Subcluster B1 MycobacteriophagesTwo mycobacteriophage genomes were newly sequenced and annotated. Duggie and Hocus were discovered, enriched, and isolated from soil using Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155. The bacteriophages are lytic Siphoviridae and belong to the B1 subcluster. The Hocus and Duggie genomes are highly similar to one another in both nucleotide sequence and gene content....
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Three Bacillus Species Isolated from Biofouled Reverse-Osmosis MembranesHere, we present the draft genome sequences of three bacteria belonging to the genus Bacillus which were isolated from biofouled reverse-osmosis (RO) membranes harvested from a full-scale desalination plant. The sizes of the assembled genomes for RO1, RO2, and RO3 were 4.22 Mb, 4.15 Mb, and 4.23 Mb, respectively.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Clostridium innocuum Strain LC-LUMC-CI-001, Isolated from a Patient with Recurrent Antibiotic-Associated DiarrheaHere, we report the complete genome sequence of Clostridium innocuum strain LC-LUMC-CI-001. As recently as 2018, C. innocuum was generally considered a benign gastrointestinal microorganism. This strain was isolated from the stool of a patient with recurrent Clostridioides difficile...
Genome SequencesComplete Coding Sequences of Lumpy Skin Disease Virus Strains Isolated from Cutaneous Lesions in Namibian Cattle during 2016 OutbreaksBetween September and October 2016, an outbreak of lumpy skin disease (LSD) was monitored in the Okakarara veterinary district of Namibia. The complete coding sequences were obtained for LSD virus isolates from skin nodules from two symptomatic animals.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Seven Avibacterium paragallinarum Isolates from Poultry Farms in Pennsylvania, USAAvibacterium paragallinarum, the causative agent of infectious coryza, causes significant economic losses to the poultry industry due to increased culling rates in growing chickens and decreased egg production in layers. We present the complete genome sequences of seven strains of Avibacterium...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Starkeya sp. Strain ORNL1, a Soil Alphaproteobacterium Isolated from the Rhizosphere of Populus deltoidesStarkeya sp. strain ORNL1 is an alphaproteobacterium isolated from the rhizosphere of an Eastern cottonwood tree. Starkeya spp. are physiologically versatile, using a wide range of nutritional and energetic resources and serving important ecological roles in carbon and sulfur cycling. The 6.3-Mb chromosome of Starkeya sp. strain ORNL1 was completely sequenced and will help in understanding nutrient cycles....
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Burkholderia contaminans SK875, Isolated from the Respiratory Tract of a Pig in the Republic of KoreaBurkholderia contaminans SK875 was isolated from the respiratory tract of a pig in the Republic of Korea. Here, we report the genome of B. contaminans SK875, which consists of three circular chromosomes and one plasmid of 8,596,045 bp with 7,727 genes.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of a 2019 Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) Strain Causing a COVID-19 Case in MoroccoHere, we report a complete genome sequence obtained for a novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) strain isolated from a nasopharyngeal swab specimen of a Moroccan patient with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of the Novel Roseimicrobium sp. Strain ORNL1, a Verrucomicrobium Isolated from the Populus deltoides RhizosphereRoseimicrobium sp. strain ORNL1 is a soil bacterium that belongs to the phylum Verrucomicrobia and was isolated from the rhizosphere of a forest Eastern cottonwood tree, Populus deltoides, in Tennessee. Its 7.9-Mb chromosome was completely sequenced using PacBio long reads and is predicted to encode 6,288 proteins and 76 RNAs.
