Amplicon Sequence CollectionsBacterial Diversity Profiling around the Orca Seamount in the Bransfield Strait, Antarctica, Based on 16S rRNA Gene Amplicon SequencesHydrothermal vent activity is often associated with submarine volcanism. Here, we investigated the presence of microorganisms related to hydrothermal activity in the Orca seamount. Data profiling of the 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequences revealed a diversity pattern dominated mainly by the phyla Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Planctomycetes, and Bacteroidetes.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Terrestrial Streptomyces sp. Strain VITNK9, Isolated from Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India, Exhibiting Antagonistic Activity against Fish PathogensWe report the draft genome sequence of Streptomyces sp. strain VITNK9, isolated from a soil sample collected in Vellore district (12.9165°N, 79.1325°E), Tamil Nadu, India, with an assembly size of 7,920,076 bp and 72.7% GC content.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Mycobacterium orygis Strain 51145We report the complete 4,352,172-bp genome sequence of Mycobacterium orygis strain 51145 assembled into a single circular chromosome. Comparative genomic analyses with other lineages of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex can provide insights into the biology, evolution, and epidemiology of this...
Genome SequencesNear-Complete Sequence of a Highly Divergent Reovirus Genome Recovered from Callinectes sapidusThis report describes the sequence of a reovirus genome, discovered in Callinectes sapidus in Brazil. The genome sequence of CsRV2 consists of 12 segments that encode 13 putative proteins. The predicted RNA-dependent RNA polymerase is highly similar to that of Eriocheir sinensis reovirus 905,...
Genome SequencesClosed Genome and Plasmid Sequences of Legionella pneumophila AW-13-4, Isolated from a Hot Water Loop System of a Large Occupational BuildingUnused water in unoccupied buildings can become stagnant, with reductions in temperature and levels of disinfectant resulting in increased microbial growth. We report the closed and complete genome and plasmid of Legionella pneumophila strain AW-13-4 (serogroup 1), which was isolated from a hot water loop system of a large building.
Genome SequencesCoding-Complete Genome Sequence of Avian orthoavulavirus 16, Isolated from Emperor Goose (Anser canagicus) Feces, Alaska, USAWe sequenced the coding-complete genome of an avian orthoavulavirus serotype 16 (AOAV-16) isolate recovered from emperor goose (Anser canagicus) feces collected in Alaska. The detection of AOAV-16 in North America and genomic sequencing of the resultant isolate confirms that the geographic distribution of this virus extends beyond Asia.
Genome SequencesCoding-Complete Genome Sequences of Six Influenza Type A Strains Circulating in Lithuania in the 2009–2010 Epidemic SeasonHere, we report the coding-complete genome sequences of six influenza A(H1N1) strains that were detected in Vilnius, Lithuania, among patients exhibiting influenza-like symptoms during the 2009–2010 epidemic season, in a national influenza surveillance. Several mutations were found in genes encoding hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, in comparison with the A/California/07/2009 reference strain (GenBank accession numbers...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Streptomyces sp. Isolate H28 from the Meycauayan River, PhilippinesIn this paper, we report the draft genome sequence of Streptomyces sp. isolate H28, isolated from the sediments of Meycauayan River, Philippines. This species exhibits production of melanin as well as the ability to utilize and degrade both high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE).
Genome SequencesGenomic Sequences and Analysis of Five SARS-CoV-2 Variants Obtained from Patients in Lambayeque, PeruHere, we report the genomic sequences of five severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) strains obtained from nasopharyngeal samples from five tested COVID-19-infected patients from the Lambayeque region in Peru during early April 2020.
Genome SequencesNovel Recombinant Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus Circulating in VietnamWe report the genome sequences of 12 recombinant foot-and-mouth disease virus isolates from Vietnam. The recombinant strain has a capsid region from an A/Sea-97 strain and a nonstructural segment from an O/ME-SA/PanAsia strain. The isolates were obtained from two outbreak samples collected in June 2017 and 10 subclinical samples collected between 2017 and 2019.
