Genome SequencesGenomic Sequencing To Identify Potential Causative Mutation(s) of Neurospora crassa col-4In many cases, genes for commonly used genetic markers in model organisms have not been identified; therefore, it is of interest to identify the causative genes. Whole-genome sequencing was used to identify potential causative mutations for a col-4 allele of Neurospora crassa.
Genome SequencesNear-Complete Genome Sequences of Rice Yellow Mottle Virus Isolates from SenegalRice yellow mottle virus in Senegal is reported here for the first time. The near-complete genomic sequences of two isolates (Se1 and Se5) were obtained. A comparison with 18 sequences from West Africa revealed a new cluster with an isolate from Gambia, located at a basal position in the phylogenetic tree.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Rhodococcus ruber R1, a Novel Strain Showing a Broad Catabolic Potential toward Lignin-Derived Aromatics...Rhodococcus ruber R1 was isolated from a pulp mill wastewater treatment plant because of its ability to use methoxylated aromatics as growth substrates. We report the 5.56-Mb genome sequence of strain R1, which can provide insights into the biodegradation of lignin-derived phenolic monomers and potentially support processes for lignocellulose conversion.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Megaplasmid-Bearing Staphylococcus sciuri Strain B9-58B, Isolated from Retail PorkHere, we report the genome sequence of the megaplasmid-bearing Staphylococcus sciuri strain B9-58B, isolated from retail pork. This strain contains a 2,761,440-bp chromosome and a 162,858-bp megaplasmid. The genome contains putative genes involved in virulence, the stress response, and antimicrobial agent and heavy metal resistance.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Myophage MobyStenotrophomonas maltophilia is a prevalent nosocomial pathogen with multidrug resistance. Here, we describe the complete genome of S. maltophilia myophage Moby, which shares characteristics with Enterobacteria phage T4 and is...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Serratia marcescens Siphophage Slocum...Serratia marcescens is a ubiquitous Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen. This announcement describes the isolation and genome annotation of S. marcescens T5-like siphophage Slocum. Terminal repeats, 170 protein-coding genes, and 23 tRNAs were predicted in the 112,436-bp Slocum genome.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Serratia marcescens Podophage PilaMultidrug-resistant Serratia marcescens strains cause serious nosocomial infections in humans. Here, we present the annotated genome sequence of S. marcescens podophage Pila. Similar to its closest relative, Enterobacteria phage T7, Pila has a 38,678-bp genome, predicted to encode 51...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Serratia Phage MuldoonSerratia marcescens is a ubiquitous Gram-negative bacterium that is linked with emerging opportunistic infections. In this report, we describe the isolation and annotation of an S. marcescens myophage called Muldoon. Related to T4-like phages, such as...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Stenotrophomonas Phage MenderaStenotrophomonas maltophilia is an emerging opportunistic human pathogen. In this report, we describe the isolation and genomic annotation of the S. maltophilia-infecting bacteriophage Mendera. A myophage of 159,961 base pairs, Mendera is T4-like and related most closely to Stenotrophomonas...
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Aspergillus oryzae BP2-1, Isolated from Traditional Malted Rice in South KoreaThe fungus Aspergillus oryzae strain BP2-1 was isolated from the traditional malted starter culture nuruk. We report here the draft whole-genome sequence of A. oryzae BP2-1, which is comprised of 14 scaffolds with a total length of 39,455,382 bp and a GC content of 47.13%.
