Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Sandaracinobacter sp. Strain M6, Isolated from a Rocky Mountain in ChinaWe report the complete genome sequence of Sandaracinobacter sp. strain M6 obtained by Oxford Nanopore and Illumina sequencing. The approximately 3.4 Mb genome sequence with a GC content of 67.65% provides essential data for future taxonomic studies and information for further investigating the metabolic characteristics of aerobic anoxygenic phototrophs.
Genome SequencesMutation Profile of SARS-CoV-2 Genome Sequences Originating from Eight Israeli Patient IsolatesWe report the genome sequences and the identification of genetic variations in eight clinical samples of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Samples were collected from nasopharyngeal swabs of symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals from five care homes for elderly and infirm persons in Israel. The sequences obtained are valuable, as they carry a newly reported nonsynonymous substitution located within the...
Genome SequencesGenome Sequences of Two GH Clade SARS-CoV-2 Strains Isolated from Patients with COVID-19 in South KoreaWe report the genome sequences of two GH clade severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) strains isolated from nasopharyngeal swabs from patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in South Korea. These strains had two mutations in the untranslated regions and seven nonsynonymous substitutions in open reading frames, compared with Wuhan/Hu-1/2019, showing 99.96% sequence identity.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Streptomyces Phage SpernnieStreptomyces spp. are Gram-positive soil bacteria that have been reported in some cases to cause acute and chronic infections, including mycetomas, pneumonia, and septicemia. Here, we present Streptomyces sp. strain Mg1 phage Spernnie. Spernnie is a temperate siphophage containing 89 predicted coding genes in a 50,834-bp genome sequence.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Streptomyces Siphophage SycamoreStreptomyces sp. strain Mg1 is a competitive soil-dwelling bacterium that secretes antibiotics that inhibit growth of Bacillus subtilis. Here, we present the genome sequence of Sycamore, a 44,694-bp Streptomyces sp. Mg1 siphophage with 66 predicted protein-coding genes, that is similar to phage genome sequences in the Lomovskayavirus genus...
Omics Data SetsMetagenomic Exploration of Atelerix albiventris Gut MicrobiomeHere, we report the metagenomic analysis of the gut of Atelerix albiventris, an animal typically kept as a pet in Kazakhstan. In this case, shotgun metagenomic sequencing of the RNA and DNA viral community was performed.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Streptomyces Phage SentinelThe Streptomyces genus produces over two-thirds of clinically useful, natural antibiotics. Here, we describe the isolation and genome annotation of siphophage Sentinel, which utilizes Streptomyces sp. strain Mg1 as a host. It has a 50,272-bp genome and 83 protein-coding genes and shows similarity to other Streptomyces phages in the Arequatrovirus genus.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Streptomyces Phage ShaekyHere, we present the genome of siphophage Shaeky, infecting the Gram-positive bacterium Streptomyces sp. strain Mg1. Shaeky has very low sequence identity to other phages, with phage phiC31 being the most closely related in the NCBI database. The Shaeky genome is 45,617 bp with 77 protein-coding genes and 16 tRNAs.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Streptomyces Siphophage SitropStreptomyces sp. strain Mg1 is a Gram-positive soil bacterium capable of causing cell lysis and degradation of Bacillus subtilis colonies. Here, we report the 48,481-bp genome of Streptomyces sp. Mg1 siphophage Sitrop. With 77 predicted protein-coding genes and one tRNA, Sitrop shares 77% nucleotide sequence identity with the Streptomyces...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Streptomyces Phage ShadyStreptomyces spp. are saprophytic soil bacteria that produce secondary metabolites with therapeutic potential. This announcement describes the isolation and genome annotation of Streptomyces sp. strain Mg1 siphophage Shady. Learning more about Shady’s novel 45-kb genome, containing 76 predicted protein-coding genes, could be industrially advantageous when using streptomycetes for their products.
