Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Two Vaccine Strains and One Field Isolate of Mycoplasma gallisepticumMycoplasma gallisepticum infection of poultry can cause significant losses for poultry producers. Live attenuated M. gallisepticum vaccines mitigate the losses caused by infection, although the antigens that lead to immune protection have not been identified. Here, we report the sequencing of two...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Aspergillus terreus High-Itaconic-Acid-Productivity Mutant TN-484Itaconic acid is an important organic acid used in the chemical industry. Aspergillus terreus strain TN-484 is a high-itaconic-acid-productivity mutant derived from strain IFO6365. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of strain TN-484, advancing the understanding of the biosynthesis of itaconic acid in filamentous fungi.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Heavy Metal-Resistant Aeromonas veronii CTe-01, Isolated from a Peruvian Wastewater Treatment PlantHere, we report a draft genome sequence of Aeromonas veronii strain CTe-01 (4.5 Mb), a hemolytic, heavy metal-resistant bacterium isolated from a wastewater treatment plant located at Cachiche, Ica, Peru. These characteristics could be used for bioremediation of contaminated environments.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Clinical Isolates from the Ural Region of Russia That Carry the pks15/1 GeneHere, we report the draft genome sequences of 15 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates of the Beijing-B0/W-148 sublineage that carry a 7-bp insertion within the pks15 gene, which leads to the synthesis of Pks15/1 fusion protein. Pks15/1 is involved in phenolglycolipid synthesis and biofilm formation, thus potentially contributing to the B0/W-148 lineage’s...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of a Metronidazole-Resistant Bacteroides fragilis Strain Isolated in EcuadorHere, we report the draft genome sequence of Bacteroides fragilis strain Z&Z143, a metronidazole-resistant bacterium isolated from a blood culture from an Ecuadorian patient hospitalized in a medical institution in Quito, Ecuador. We describe a new variant of the nim genes, which is associated with metronidazole resistance.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Nocardia sp. Strain CS682, a Producer of Antibacterial Compound Nargenicin A1Nocardia sp. strain CS682 is a rare actinobacterium with a promising ability to produce secondary metabolites such as nargenicin A1 (an effective antibacterial compound) and IBR-3 (a UV-protectant molecule). Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Nocardia sp. CS682, obtained by PacBio sequencing as a single contig with 8,919,230 bp (GC content, 63.3%).
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Two Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica Serovar Anatum Strains Isolated from PapayaSalmonella enterica is a major global foodborne pathogen that causes gastroenteritis and, in some cases, death. Salmonella serovar Anatum has been increasingly associated with foodborne salmonellosis outbreaks. In this report, we announce two complete genome sequences of Salmonella Anatum isolated from papaya fruit.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Two Textile Azo Dye-Degrading Shewanella sp. Strains Isolated from a Textile Effluent in PeruHere, we report the annotated genome sequences of two Shewanella sp. strains isolated from textile industry wastewater effluent in Peru. Potential genes for encoding enzymes that enable the strain to decolorize and degrade textile azo dyes were detected in both genomes.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of a Wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica Strain Isolated from Frozen Chicken in Rio De Janeiro, BrazilHere, we report the draft genome sequence of Wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica strain 20, isolated from a chicken carcass originated from indoor broiler farming and identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry followed by sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene.
Genome SequencesChromosome-Scale Genome Assembly of Two Australian Nannochloropsis oceanica Isolates Exhibiting Superior Lipid Characteristics...Nannochloropsis oceanica strains BR2 and KB1 are microalgal isolates from brackish water in the Brisbane River and a coastal rock pool at the Sunshine Coast in Australia which display superior productivity at high temperatures. We used long-read sequencing to sequence their genomes and to facilitate elucidation of loci associated with these traits.
