Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis NW_ED23, Isolated from Bovine Sheath WashCampylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis is the causative agent of bovine genital campylobacteriosis, which is mostly characterized by reproduction problems. The strain reported in this study was isolated from bull sheath wash in South Africa.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of the Plant Growth-Promoting Bacterium Bacillus subtilis Strain BZR 517, Isolated from Winter Wheat, Now Reclassified as Bacillus velezensis Strain BZR 517Bacillus velezensis strain BZR 517 is a prospective plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium with known biocontrol properties, which may be used to improve soil quality. The genome sequencing was conducted as part of new biological agent development in order to determine the biocontrol potential of the strain, including the production of biologically active compounds....
Genome SequencesWhole-Genome Sequencing of Multidrug-Resistant Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus NWU_ED24, Isolated from a Bovine Sheath Wash SampleCampylobacter fetus subsp. fetus is an opportunistic human pathogen that is frequently identified as a cause of intestinal infections as well as bloodstream infections. This bacterium is well known to cause spontaneous abortions in sheep and cows. The strain reported in this study was isolated from a preputial wash sample from a bull in South Africa.

Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Bdellovibrio sp. Strain KM01, a Predatory Bacterium Isolated from SoilWe report the complete genome sequence of the predatory bacterium Bdellovibrio sp. strain KM01, isolated from soil collected near a pond. The genome is 3,961,288 bp long with 45.5% GC content. Comparative genomics among Bdellovibrio strains will help us understand how genotypic differences affect differences in predatory phenotypes.
Omics Data SetsMetagenome-Assembled Genome Sequences from an Anoxygenic Photosynthetic Consortium Involved in Sulfur CyclingWe sequenced the metagenome of an anoxygenic photosynthetic consortium originating from pond water and reconstructed four metagenome-assembled genomes. These genomes include Desulfocapsa, Paludibacter, Lamprocystis, and Rhodocyclaceae representatives and indicate the presence of genes for dissimilatory sulfate reduction and oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds.
Culture Collections/Mutant LibrariesA Culture Collection of 50 Neisseria gonorrhoeae IsolatesA culture collection of 50 Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates is available from the CDC & FDA Antibiotic Resistance Isolate Bank. Associated data include antibiotic susceptibility information for azithromycin, cefixime, cefpodoxime, ceftriaxone, tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, penicillin, and spectinomycin and linked whole-genome sequences.
Genome SequencesWhole-Genome Sequences of Antibiotic-Resistant Aeromonas caviae Strains Isolated from Treated WastewaterThe presented data provide new information on antibiotic resistance and virulence genes in the genomes of Aeromonas caviae strains TW-2 and TW-6, isolated from treated wastewater. The results confirm the presence of multi-antibiotic-resistant Aeromonas caviae strains with virulence properties as “...
Genome SequencesGenome Analysis of “Candidatus Regiella insecticola” Strain TUt, Facultative Bacterial Symbiont of the Pea Aphid Acyrthosiphon pisumThe genome of “Candidatus Regiella insecticola” strain TUt, a facultative bacterial symbiont of the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum, was analyzed. We determined a 2.5-Mb draft genome consisting of 14 contigs; this will contribute to the understanding of the symbiont, which underpins various ecologically adaptive traits of the host insect.
Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of Bacillus megaterium O1, a Saponin-Degrading BacteriumBacillus megaterium strain O1 was isolated from a soapnut (Sapindus saponaria) surface and degrades Quillaja saponin as a sole carbon source. We report the draft genome sequence of B. megaterium O1, which has an estimated...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Shewanella sp. Strain T2.3D-1.1, Isolated from 121.8 Meters Deep in the Subsurface of the Iberian Pyrite BeltShewanella sp. strain T2.3D-1.1 was isolated from the deep subsurface of the Iberian Pyrite Belt. We report its draft genome sequence, consisting of 49 scaffolds, with a chromosome of ≈4.6 Mb and a 23.8-kb plasmid. The chromosome annotation identified 4,068 coding DNA sequences, 1 rRNA operon, and 108 tRNA genes.
