Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of Vibrio natriegens Phage vB_VnaS-AQKL99Vibrio natriegens is a naturally occurring marine bacterium that is emerging as a microbiological model system. Here, we describe Aquatic Killer 99 (AQKL99), a novel phage that infects Vibrio natriegens 14048. The genome of the phage is 58,464 bp long, has a GC content of 45.9%, and contains 51...
Genome SequencesWhole-Genome Sequencing of Bacterial Isolates That Degrade the Cyanobacterial Toxin Microcystin-LRWe previously demonstrated that 13 bacterial isolates from Lake Erie, when grown in groups of four to five isolates per group, degraded the cyanobacterial toxin microcystin-LR (MC-LR) into nontoxic fragments. Whole-genome sequencing of these bacteria was performed to provide genus and species information and to predict putative MC-LR-degrading genes.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Glycoside Hydrolase-Producing Trichoderma asperellum Strain IC-1Glycoside hydrolases capable of degrading lignocellulose are important for effectively utilizing cellulosic biomass as a next-generation chemical resource. Trichoderma asperellum IC-1 produces various glycoside hydrolases. Here, we report a draft genome sequence of T. asperellum IC-1 to better understand its gene structures and gene regulatory mechanisms....
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Four Extensively Drug-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Isolates from ThailandHere, we report the complete genome sequences of four clinical isolates of extensively drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (XDRAB), isolated in Thailand. These results revealed multiple antimicrobial-resistant genes, each involving two sequence type 16 (ST16) isolates, ST2, and a novel sequence type isolate, ST1479.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Sulfurospirillum Strain ACSTCE, a Tetrachloroethene-Respiring Anaerobe Isolated from Contaminated SoilHere, we report the complete genome sequence of the tetrachloroethene-to-trichloroethene dechlorinator Sulfurospirillum sp. strain ACSTCE. The genome consists of a 38.05-kb circular plasmid and a 2.69-Mb circular chromosome, which encodes 3 identical reductive dehalogenases with 91.47% amino acid identity to the PceA of Sulfurospirillum multivorans...
Genome SequencesGenome Sequences of Gordonia rubripertincta Bacteriophages Jellybones and NHagosJellybones and NHagos are bacteriophages that were identified in the host bacterium Gordonia rubripertincta NRRL B-16540. Jellybones has a direct terminal repeat and was assigned to the CS2 subcluster with a length of 77,514 bp. NHagos is circularly permuted and was assigned to the DR cluster with a length of 59,580 bp.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Streptococcus salivarius DB-B5, a Novel Probiotic Candidate Isolated from the Supragingival Plaque of a Healthy Female SubjectStreptococcus salivarius DB-B5 was isolated from the supragingival plaque of a healthy female subject. The complete 2.3-Mb genome consists of one circular chromosome, two circular plasmids (including a megaplasmid), and one linear phage-like episome. The genome possesses two separate loci encoding bacteriocins.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of a Novel “Candidatus Liberibacter” Species Detected in a Zanthoxylum Species from BhutanThe draft genome sequence of a novel “Candidatus Liberibacter” species detected in an unidentified species of Zanthoxylum (Rutaceae) collected in Bhutan is reported. The total length is 1,408,989 bp with 1,169 coding sequences in 96 contigs, a GC content of 37.3%, and 76 to 77% average nucleotide identity with several other “Ca. Liberibacter” species.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Pseudomonas putida BS3701, a Promising Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon-Degrading Strain for Bioremediation TechnologiesThe strain Pseudomonas putida BS3701 was isolated from soil contaminated with coke by-product waste (Moscow Region, Russian Federation). It is capable of degrading crude oil and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The P. putida BS3701 genome consists of a 6,337,358-bp circular chromosome and...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Four Aspergillus Section Fumigati Clinical StrainsAspergillus fungi in section Fumigati include important human pathogens. Here, we sequenced the genomes of two strains of Aspergillus hiratsukae and two strains of Aspergillus felis. The average genome sizes are 29.5 Mb for A. hiratsukae and 31.8 Mb for A. felis...
