Omics Data SetsVirome Structure of the Small Aral SeaHere, we present a virome analysis of the surface waters of the Small Aral Sea. In this case, shotgun metagenomic sequencing of the RNA and DNA virus community was used.
Omics Data SetsMetagenome of a Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid Sample from a Confirmed COVID-19 Case in Quito, Ecuador, Obtained Using Oxford Nanopore MinION TechnologyWe report the metagenome analysis of a bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid sample from a confirmed COVID-19 case in Quito, Ecuador. Sequencing was performed using MinION technology.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of the Novel Psychrobacter sp. Strain AJ006, Which Has the Potential for BiomineralizationA novel Psychrobacter sp. strain, AJ006, was isolated from Antarctic soil. Its complete genome sequence consists of a single circular chromosome (3,032,533 bp; G+C content, 44.0%) and a single linear plasmid (49,070 bp; G+C content, 41.7%). Chromosomal genes encoding carbonic anhydrase and urease, key enzymes in a biomineralization process, were predicted.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Yellow Pigment-Producing Sphingobium sp. Strain HAL-16Sphingobium sp. strain HAL-16, which was isolated from Antarctic soil samples, synthesizes a yellow pigment. The complete genome consists of a single circular chromosome (4,372,398 bp, with a G+C content of 62.7%) and a single circular plasmid (57,025 bp, with a G+C content of 59.4%). Five genes encoding carotenogenic enzymes were identified, suggesting that the yellow pigment is a hydroxy/keto-β-carotene.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Streptomyces sp. Strain BR123, Endowed with Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial PotentialThe genome of Streptomyces sp. strain BR123, isolated from rhizospheric soil that exhibited promising antimicrobial properties, was sequenced and assembled. Here, we report an 8,157,040-bp genome sequence with a G+C content of 72.63%. This genome sequence enlightens the genes responsible for the production of secondary metabolites and antimicrobial compounds by this strain.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Strain P-684, Isolated from Prunus verecundaSaccharomyces cerevisiae strain P-684 is a yeast isolated from the flowers of Prunus verecunda ‘Antiqua,’ producing high quantities of malic and succinic acids in sake brewing. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of P-684, enlightening the mechanisms of biosynthesis of these organic acids by...
Genome SequencesWhole-Genome Assemblies for Two Yersinia pestis Strains Isolated in MongoliaHere, we report the draft genome sequences of two Yersinia pestis bv. Antiqua strains, belonging to the 3.ANT phylogroup, that were isolated in Mongolia and were circulating in marmot populations.
Omics Data SetsMetagenomics of Wastewater Influent from Southern California Wastewater Treatment Facilities in the Era of COVID-19Sequencing wastewater may be useful for detecting pathogens and assaying microbial water quality. We concentrated, extracted, and sequenced nucleic acids from 17 composite influent wastewater samples spanning seven southern California wastewater treatment facilities in May 2020. Bacteria were the most proportionally abundant taxonomic group present, followed by viruses and archaea.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strains 110900 and 128254, Two Representatives of the CRISPR-Cas-Carrying Sequence Type 630/spa Type t4549 LineageMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) sequence type 630 (ST630) and spa type t4549 is an emerging lineage in Nordic countries, and some representatives carry the CRISPR-Cas system. Here, the complete genome sequences of two isolates from this lineage are presented, comprising chromosomes of 2,918,239 and 2,877,083 nucleotides, respectively, and a...
Omics Data SetsMetagenomes from Experimental Hydrologic Manipulation of Restored Coastal Plain Wetland Soils (Tyrell County, North Carolina)Hydrologic changes modify microbial community structure and ecosystem functions, especially in wetland systems. Here, we present 24 metagenomes from a coastal freshwater wetland experiment in which we manipulated hydrologic conditions and plant presence. These wetland soil metagenomes will deepen our understanding of how hydrology and vegetation influence microbial functional diversity.
