Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of the Non-Microcystin-Producing Microcystis aeruginosa Strain KLA2, Isolated from a Freshwater Reservoir in Northern California, USAWe report a draft genome sequence for Microcystis aeruginosa KLA2. The total draft genome size is 5,213,465 bp with a GC content of 42.5%. The genome does not have genes indicative of microcystin production but does contain genes indicative of production of several other secondary metabolites.
Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of Novoherbaspirillum sp. UKPF54, a Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacterial Strain with N2O-Mitigating Abilities, Isolated from Paddy SoilNovoherbaspirillum sp. strain UKPF54, a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium with the ability to mitigate nitrous oxide emission from agriculture soils, has been successfully isolated from paddy soil in Kumamoto, Japan. Here, we report the whole-genome sequence of this strain.
Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of a Klebsiella pneumoniae NDM-1 Producer Isolated in Quebec CityWe report here the complete genome sequence of Klebsiella pneumoniae CCRI-22199, isolated from a patient from India treated in Quebec City, Canada. Genes encoding beta-lactamases NDM-1 and CTX-M-15 were identified on two distinct plasmids. While the chromosome is similar to that of strain BAA-2146, CCRI-22199 provides a further example of rearrangements in plasmids....
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of the Novel Coastal Bacterium LSUCC0115 from the MWH-UniPo Clade, Order Burkholderiales, Class BetaproteobacteriaHere, we present the draft genome of LSUCC0115, a novel coastal Gulf of Mexico bacterioplankton isolate within the order Burkholderiales. LSUCC0115 has the metabolic potential for aerobic heterotrophy, phototrophy, and lithoautotrophy, as well as genes for flagellar assembly and quorum sensing.
Genome SequencesComplete High-Quality Genome Sequence of Clostridium limosum (Hathewaya limosa) Isolate 14S0207, Recovered from a Cow with Suspected Blackleg in GermanyClostridium limosum can be found in soil and the intestinal tract of animals. In 2014, C. limosum was isolated from a suspected blackleg outbreak in cattle in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. We present a complete genome sequence of a C. limosum strain represented by a circular chromosome and three plasmids.
Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of Bacillus thuringiensis Strain MW, a Freshwater IsolateBacillus thuringiensis is an agriculturally significant bacterium and common biological pesticide. B. thuringiensis strain MW was isolated from a freshwater stream in Mont Vernon, NH, and sequenced. A draft genome assembly of 5,935,630 bp with a G+C content of 34.86% and an N50...
Genome SequencesCoding-Complete Genome Sequence of Yada Yada Virus, a Novel Alphavirus Detected in Australian MosquitoesHere, we report the detection of a novel alphavirus in Australian mosquitoes, provisionally named Yada Yada virus (YYV). Phylogenetic analysis indicated that YYV belongs to the mosquito-specific alphavirus complex. The assembled genome is 11,612 nucleotides in length and encodes two open reading frames.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Rhodothermus marinus Strains AA2-13 and AA3-38, Isolated from Arima Onsen Hot Spring in JapanWe isolated Rhodothermus marinus strains AA2-13 and AA3-38 from Arima Onsen, a hot spring in Japan, and sequenced their genomes. The average nucleotide identity between their genomes was 99.2%, and that with the genome of R. marinus strain DSM 4252T (isolated from Iceland) was ∼95.2%,...
Genome SequencesGenome Sequences of Chikungunya Virus Strains from Bangladesh and ThailandWe sequenced the genomes of two chikungunya virus isolates obtained from viremic patients who had traveled to Australia. The first patient acquired the infection in Bangladesh in 2017, and the second was infected in Thailand in 2019. Phylogenetic sequence analysis demonstrated that both isolates belonged to the East/Central/South African genotype.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Gordonia sp. 135, a Promising Dibenzothiophene- and Hydrocarbon-Degrading StrainGordonia sp. strain 135 is a promising dibenzothiophene-desulfurizing and hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium. It can utilize dibenzothiophene as the sole sulfur source. The genome of strain 135 was completely sequenced; it consists of a 5,039,827-bp circular chromosome and a 164,963-bp circular plasmid.
