EditorialFuture-Proofing Your Microbiology Resource Announcements Genome Assembly for Reproducibility and ClarityDescriptions of resources, like the genome assemblies reported in Microbiology Resource Announcements, are often frozen at their time of publication, yet they will need to be interpreted in the midst of continually evolving technologies. It is therefore important to ensure that researchers accessing published resources have access to all of the information required to repeat, interpret, and extend these original analyses.

Genome SequencesDraft Genomic Sequences of Streptomyces misionensis ACT66 and Streptomyces albidoflavus ACT77, Bacteria with Potential Application for Phytopathogen BiocontrolHere, we report the draft genomic sequences and annotation of Streptomyces misionensis ACT66 and Streptomyces albidoflavus ACT77, which are two bacteria with potential application for phytopathogen biocontrol.
Genome SequencesGenome Sequences of Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli Sequence Type 6, 99, and 311 Strains Acquired in Asia PacificLaboratory diagnosis of enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) remains difficult and limits the availability of EIEC genomes to the research community. We report the draft genome sequences of three EIEC strains which represent three distinct sequence types and serotypes circulating in Asia Pacific and causing enterocolitis in humans.
Genome SequencesHigh-Quality Draft Genome Sequence of the Causal Agent of the Current Panama Disease EpidemicWe present a high-quality draft genome assembly for Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4 (Fusarium odoratissimum), assembled from PacBio reads and consisting of 15 contigs with a total assembly size of 48.59 Mb. This strain appears to belong to vegetative compatibility group...
Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of Metarhizium rileyi, a Microbial Control Agent for LepidopteraMetarhizium rileyi (formerly known as Nomuraea rileyi) is a potential agent for microbial control of many insect pests from the order Lepidoptera, the damages of which can cause considerable loss of productivity in agriculture. We report the genome sequence and annotation of...
Genome SequencesWhole-Genome Sequence of the Phlox Powdery Mildew Pathogen Golovinomyces magnicellulatus Strain FPH2017-1Powdery mildew (PM) fungi are obligate biotrophs capable of infecting diverse plant hosts, ranging from monocotyledonous agricultural crops to dicotyledonous ornamental crops. The PM lifestyle poses significant challenges for studying these pathogens in isolation from their host. We present a draft genome of Golovinomyces magnicellulatus, a host-specific PM on ...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Leisingera aquamixtae R2C4, Isolated from a Self-Regenerating Biocathode ConsortiumHere, we present the complete genome sequence of Leisingera aquamixtae R2C4, isolated from the electroautotrophic microbial consortium biocathode MCL (Marinobacter-Chromatiaceae-Labrenzia). As an isolate of a current-producing system, the genome sequence of...
Genome SequencesGenome Sequences of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus SAT1 and SAT2 Strains from Kenya in 2014 to 2016Here, we report the near-complete genomes of three Southern African Territories 1 (SAT1) serotype strains and one SAT2 serotype strain of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) recently isolated from Kenya. Viral isolates were obtained from bovine epithelial tissues collected in 2014 and 2016 following outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). These near-complete genome sequences provide a critical update of Kenyan FMDV molecular...
Amplicon Sequence Collections16S rRNA Gene Amplicon Sequencing of Microbial Communities Involved in Anaerobic Bulking in a Mesophilic Expanded Granular Sludge Bed Reactor Treating Wastewater Discharged from a Japanese-Style Thickened Worcestershire Sauce-Producing FactoryWe analyzed the prokaryotes in bulking and healthy sludge from a mesophilic expanded granular sludge bed reactor treating wastewater with high organic content by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. We tabulated the microbiota at the phylum level, providing a framework for avoiding sludge bulking.
Genome SequencesFirst Detection of a Novel Reassortant Avian Influenza A(H5N6) Clade 2.3.2.1c Virus, Isolated from a Wild Bird in ChinaWe report the first isolation of a reassortant clade 2.3.2.1c avian influenza A(H5N6) virus isolated from a wild bird sample in Jiangxi, China, in 2016. Sequence analyses indicated that this virus most likely evolved from Eurasia-derived H5N1 and H6N6 viruses through frequent interactions at the wild-domestic bird interface.
