- Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Seven Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase-Producing Escherichia coli Strains Isolated from New Zealand Waterways
Draft genomes of seven extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli strains recovered from New Zealand waterways are described. The mean genome size was 5.1 Mb, with 4,724 coding sequences. All genomes contained the ESBL gene blaCTX-M, and one carried a plasmid-mediated AmpC gene, blaCMY-2. A multidrug-...
- Genome SequencesGenome Sequences of 26 White Sucker Hepatitis B Virus Isolates from White Sucker, Catostomus commersonii, Inhabiting Transboundary Waters from Alberta, Canada, to the Great Lakes, USA
We report 26 genome sequences of the white sucker hepatitis B virus (WSHBV) from the white sucker, Catostomus commersonii. The genome length ranged from 3,541 to 3,543 bp, and nucleotide identity was 96.7% or greater across genomes. This work suggests a geographical range of this virus that minimally extends from the Athabasca River, Alberta, Canada, to the Great...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Sinorhizobium meliloti S35m, a Salt-Tolerant Isolate from Alfalfa Rhizosphere in Soil Native to the Caucasus RegionThe genome of a symbiotically effective salt-tolerant strain, Sinorhizobium meliloti S35m, isolated from alfalfa rhizosphere in soil native to the Caucasian region, was sequenced. Genomic islands, prophages, and elements of a potential CRISPR/Cas I type (Cas3_0_I) system were identified in the genome.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of the Bacterial Component of Mysorin BiopreparationPlants can form various beneficial associations with soil microorganisms, such as associations with plant-growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB). In this work, we report the full genome sequence of the component of Mysorin biopreparation, identified as Microbacterium hominis, consisting of a single 3.5-Mbp circular chromosome.

Burkholderia sp. strain USMB20 is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium that was isolated from nodules of the leguminous cover crop Mucuna bracteata. The draft genome sequence of Burkholderia sp. strain USMB20 has an assembly size of 7.7 Mbp in 26 contigs, with a GC content of 66.88%.
- Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of Clostridium sp. Strain P21, a CO-Fermenting Acetogen Isolated from Old Hay
Here, we report the genome sequence of Clostridium sp. strain P21, isolated from old hay from Stillwater, Oklahoma. This announcement describes the generation and annotation of the 5.6-Mb genomic sequence of strain P21, which will aid in studies targeting genes involved in the enhancement of acid-alcohol production.
- Genome SequencesGenome Sequences of Microviruses Identified in Gila Monster Feces
The complete genome sequences of 33 microviruses were determined from fecal samples collected from 14 Arizona-dwelling Gila monsters using high-throughput sequencing. These microviruses with genomes 4,383 to 6,782 nucleotides (nt) long were broadly distributed across the 14 samples.
- Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Mycobacteriophage Fulbright
Mycobacteriophage Fulbright was isolated from soil in central Oklahoma using Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2115. The genome of phage Fulbright is 42,396 bp long and contains 70 open reading frames (ORFs), with 33 having predicted functions and 37 having hypothetical proteins. It belongs to cluster N and shares 99% nucleotide identity with mycobacteriophage...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Rhodococcus qingshengii Strain VKM Ac-2784D, Isolated from Elytrigia repens RhizosphereRhizosphere bacteria are considered to be promising destructors of oil and its components. Bacterial species of the genus Rhodococcus can degrade a variety of hydrocarbons and are widely used for the bioremediation of polluted environments. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Rhodococcus qingshengii strain VKM Ac-2784D.
- Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of a Burkholderia cepacia Complex Strain Isolated from a Human Intra-abdominal Abscess
Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) bacteria are opportunistic pathogens with high transmissibility and mortality. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of a Bcc strain isolated from a deep abscess culture in an immunocompetent patient with no relevant prior medical history.
