Genome SequencesGenome Sequences of Two F1 Subcluster Bacteriophages, Burwell21 and Nivrat, Isolated Using the Bacterial Host Mycobacterium smegmatisThe mycobacteriophages Burwell21 and Nivrat are two F1 cluster bacteriophages isolated from different soil samples in Charlotte, NC. Burwell21 has a 58,098-base-pair double-stranded DNA genome, with 99 protein-coding genes predicted, whereas Nivrat has a 58,009-base-pair genome, with 102 protein-coding genes predicted.
Genome SequencesGenome Sequences of vB_RleM_RL38JI and vB_RleM_RL2RES, Two Virulent Rhizobium leguminosarum Transducing PhagesPhages vB_RleM_RL38JI and vB_RleM_RL2RES are known to mediate generalized transduction in Rhizobium leguminosarum. The RL38JI genome consists of 158,577 nucleotides and 270 predicted genes, whereas RL2RES has a 156,878-bp genome with 262 predicted genes. The two genomes are similar, with 82.88% nucleotide identity to each other.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of 30 Salmonella enterica Serovar Enteritidis Isolates Associated with Multiple Outbreaks in BrazilSalmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis has been the prevalent serovar isolated from gastroenteritis cases in Brazil since the 1990s. Here, we report the draft genomes of 30 S. Enteritidis isolates originating from a variety of patients and implicated foods during outbreaks between 1999 and 2006 in Brazil.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Bradyrhizobium elkanii BR 2003, an Efficient Rhizobium Strain for Cajanus, Canavalia, Crotalaria, and IndigoferaWe report here the annotated draft genome sequence of the rhizobium strain BR 2003. This strain is able to establish symbiosis and to fix nitrogen with a broad range of leguminous species. The estimation of the average nucleotide identity confirmed the strain as a member of Bradyrhizobium elkanii.
Genome SequencesGenome Sequences of Five Type Strain Members of the Archaeal Family Sulfolobaceae, Acidianus ambivalens, Acidianus infernus, Stygiolobus azoricus, Sulfuracidifex metallicus, and Sulfurisphaera ohwakuensisPresented are five genomes from the polyextremophilic (optimal temperature of >65°C and optimal pH of <3.5) archaeal family Sulfolobaceae, greatly expanding order-wide genomic diversity. Included are the only obligate anaerobic species, several facultative sulfur utilizers, two metal mobilizers, one facultative chemolithoautotroph with robust metabolic versatility, and some of the most thermophilic thermoacidophiles...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Marinobacter hydrocarbonoclasticus NCT7M, Obtained from the Microbiome of a Marine CopepodThe gammaproteobacterium Marinobacter hydrocarbonoclasticus NCT7M was cultivated from the copepod Acartia tonsa, collected from the coastal western North Atlantic Ocean. The genome was assembled into 45 contigs for a total of 4,128,590 bp, a GC content of 57.3%, and 3,890 protein-coding genes. The...
Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of Escherichia coli Clone O25:H4 Sequence Type 131, Isolated from a Sudanese Patient with Urinary Tract InfectionWe report here the whole-genome sequence of Escherichia coli NUBRI-E, a representative of E. coli clone O25:H4 sequence type 131 with blaCTX-M-15, which was obtained from a Sudanese patient with a urinary tract infection.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of a 2019 Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) Strain Isolated in NepalA complete genome sequence was obtained for a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) strain isolated from an oropharyngeal swab specimen of a Nepalese patient with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), who had returned to Nepal after traveling to Wuhan, China.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Two Strains of Streptococcus pyogenes Belonging to an Emergent Clade of the Genotype emm89 in Brittany, FranceThe frequency of infections due to Streptococcus pyogenes M/emm89 strains is increasing, presumably due to the emergence of a genetically distinct clone. We sequenced two emm89 strains isolated in Brittany, France, in 2009 and 2010 from invasive and noninvasive infections, respectively. Both strains belong to a newly emerged emm89 clade 3...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of a Precore-Defective Hepatitis B Virus Genotype D2 Strain Isolated in BangladeshHepatitis B virus (HBV) genomic mutations affect viral replication, disease progression, and diagnostic and vaccination efficiency. There is limited information regarding characterization and mutational analysis of HBV isolated in Bangladesh. Here, we report the complete nucleotide sequence of a precore-defective HBV genotype D2 strain isolated in Bangladesh.
