Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Mn(II)-Oxidizing Bacterium Oxalobacteraceae sp. Strain AB_14Biological Mn(II) oxidation produces reactive manganese oxides that help to mitigate metal contamination in the environment. Here, we present the genome of Oxalobacteraceae sp. strain AB_14, a species of Mn(II)-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) that is notable for its ability to catalyze Mn oxidation at low pH (5.5).
Omics Data SetsMetagenomes from Late Pleistocene Ice Complex Sediments of the Siberian ArcticThe late Pleistocene Ice Complex (also known as Yedoma) encompasses ice-rich permafrost formed when alluvial and/or aeolian sediments accumulated under cold climatic conditions. Three metagenomes obtained from Yedoma deposits continually frozen for periods up to 60,000 years are reported here.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Kosakonia radicincitans UYSO10, an Endophytic Plant Growth-Promoting Bacterium of Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum)Kosakonia radicincitas UYSO10 is an endophytic bacterium that was isolated from stem tissues of Saccharum officinarum plants cultivated in Uruguay. UYSO10 is a diazotrophic indoleacetic acid-producing bacterium with growth-promoting effects on sugarcane. Here, we report the draft genome sequence, in...
Genome SequencesDraft Whole-Genome Sequence of a Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Strain Carrying the eae GeneUropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains are responsible for most cases of urinary tract infections worldwide. We present the draft whole-genome sequence of the UPEC 252 strain, which carries the eae gene that encodes the intimin adhesin. Intimin promotes intimate adherence of enteropathogenic...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Original Material Used To Derive the WHO International Standard for Human Polyomavirus BK DNAThe complete genomic sequence was determined for the original biological material used to derive the WHO international standard for BK polyomavirus (BKV) DNA. The entire coding sequence and noncoding regions were assigned BKV subtype 1, subgroup 1b-1. This information will aid development and evaluation of human BKV DNA amplification assays.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of the Multidrug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Endemic Houston-1 Strain, Isolated from a Pediatric Patient with Cystic Fibrosis and Assembled Using Oxford Nanopore and Illumina Sequencing...Hybrid de novo assembly of Illumina/Nanopore sequence data produced complete circular sequences of the chromosome and a plasmid for the multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Houston-1 strain. This provides a high-quality representative sequence for a lineage endemic to a pediatric cystic fibrosis care center at Texas Children’s Hospital.
Genome SequencesMethylome Characterization of Burkholderia pseudomallei Strain 982 at Single-Base ResolutionBurkholderia pseudomallei is the etiological agent of melioidosis, which has been studied by transcriptome and secretome analyses. However, little is known about the methylome of this pathogen. Here, we present the complete genome and methylome of melioidosis-causing B. pseudomallei strain 982....
Genome SequencesGenome Sequences of Two Dual-Serotype-Specific Echovirus 20 Strains from Nigeria...Here, we describe nearly complete genome sequences (7,361 nucleotides [nt] and 6,893 nt) of two echovirus 20 (E20) isolates from Nigeria that were simultaneously typed as CVB and E20 (dual serotype) by neutralization assay. Both include two overlapping open reading frames (ORFs) of 67 and 2,183 amino acids that encoded a recently described gut infection-facilitating protein and the classic enterovirus proteins, respectively.
Genome SequencesWhole-Genome Sequences of One Arthrobacter Strain and Three Pseudarthrobacter Strains Isolated from the Namib DesertWe report here the draft genome sequences of one Arthrobacter sp. strain (NamB2) and three Pseudarthrobacter sp. strains (NamE2, NamB4, and NamE5) isolated from topsoil in the Namib Desert, Namibia. The assemblies contain between 29 (NamB2) and 68 (NamE5) contigs >200 bp and range from 3.26 Mb (...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Freshwater-Derived Streptomyces sp. Strain BPSDS2, Isolated from Damte Stream, Northeast IndiaWe report the draft genome sequence of Streptomyces sp. strain BPSDS2, isolated from freshwater sediments in Northeast India. The draft genome has a size of 8.27 Mb and 7,559 protein-coding sequences.
