Genome SequencesGenome Sequence and Biochemical Properties of Bifidobacterium longum Strain ICIS-505, Isolated from the Intestine of a Healthy WomanThis report describes the genome sequence of Bifidobacterium longum strain ICIS-505, isolated from human feces. The size of the genome was 2,448,844 bp (59.71% G+C content), including 3,751 bp of the crypto-plasmid pBL505. Annotation revealed 2,241 gene sequences, including 2,033 proteins, 7 rRNA genes, 76 tRNA genes, and 4 noncoding RNA genes.
Genome SequencesWhole-Genome Sequence of Listeria newyorkensis, Isolated from River Water in JapanListeria newyorkensis is a bacterium that was recently classified into the genus Listeria. So far, there are only two reports of isolation of L. newyorkensis from food. Here, we report the whole-genome sequence of L....
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Two Mycoplasma gallisepticum F-Strain VariantsMycoplasma gallisepticum pathology in poultry is preventable by vaccination with live M. gallisepticum vaccines. Research has suggested possible differences in host response between F-strain-based vaccines. The genomes of the AviPro vaccine and F99 parent strains were sequenced for comparison with...
Databases and SoftwaregndDb, a Database of Partial gnd Sequences To Assist with Analysis of Escherichia coli Communities Using High-Throughput SequencingThe use of culture methods to detect Escherichia coli diversity does not provide sufficient resolution to identify strains present at low levels. Here, we target the hypervariable gnd gene and describe a database containing 534 distinct partial gnd sequences and associated O groups for use with culture-independent...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Bacillus thuringiensis DPC6431, Producer of the Bacteriocin Thuricin CDWe report the draft genome sequence of Bacillus thuringiensis DPC6431, a producer of the anticlostridial bacteriocin thuricin CD and isolated from a human fecal sample. The assembly comprises 96 contigs for a total of 5,581,839 bp, with 32.5% G+C content.
Genome SequencesImproved Reference Genome Sequence of Coccidioides immitis Strain WA_211, Isolated in Washington StateCoccidioides fungi are widely distributed in the American continents, with an expanding western range documented by a recently discovered cryptic population of Coccidioides immitis in Washington State. The assembled and annotated reference genome sequence of the soil-derived...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Duganella sp. Strain DN04, Isolated from Cultivated Soil...Here, we sequenced Duganella sp. strain DN04, a novel species within the genus Duganella that was isolated from a maize field in North Carolina. The assembled draft genome size is 6,562,230 bp, with a total of 6,039 protein coding sequences and 3,889 functionally assigned genes, including genes putatively involved in the colonization of plants.
Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of a T4-like Phage, Escherichia Phage vB_EcoM-Sa45lw, Infecting Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli StrainsEscherichia phage vB_EcoM-Sa45lw, a new member of the T4-like phages, was isolated from surface water in a produce-growing area. The phage, containing double-stranded DNA with a genome size of 167,353 bp and 282 predicted open reading frames (ORFs), is able to infect generic Escherichia coli and Shiga toxin-producing...
Amplicon Sequence Collections16S rRNA Gene Amplicon Sequence Data from Chicken Cecal Feces from Vietnam and ThailandHere, we report 16S rRNA amplicon sequence data from chicken cecal feces from Vietnam and Thailand. Lachnospiraceae, Ruminococcaceae, and Bacteroidaceae were dominant in cecal feces microbiota.
