- Genome SequencesFirst Report of a SARS-CoV-2 Genome Sequence with a Spike His69-Val70 Deletion and an Asn439Lys Mutation in Morocco
We report the nearly complete genome sequence and the genetic variations of a clinical sample of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) collected from a nasopharyngeal swab specimen from a male patient from Harhoura-Rabat, Morocco. The sequence, which was obtained using Ion Torrent technology, is valuable as it carries a recently described deletion (His69-Val70) and substitution (Asn439Lys).
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of the Prazosin-Degrading Bacillus sp. Strain PR5, Isolated from a River Receiving Hospital and Urban Wastewater in MalaysiaWe report the complete genome sequence of Bacillus sp. strain PR5, isolated from a river receiving hospital and urban wastewater in Malaysia, which demonstrated a high capability for degrading prazosin. This genome sequence of 4,525,264 bp exhibited 41.5% GC content, 4,402 coding sequences, and 32 RNAs.
- Genome SequencesComplete Genomic Sequences of Campylobacter coli Strains Isolated from Poultry Sold in Pennsylvania Farmers’ Markets
Campylobacter strains were collected in a survey of fresh chicken carcasses in Pennsylvania farmers’ markets. Three Campylobacter coli strains were observed to have unique sequence variations in their gyrase subunit B genes, compared with other Campylobacter strains. The strains were sequenced and analyzed, producing genome sequences consisting of...
Omics Data SetsSoil Metagenome Sequences from a Geothermal Site at Mount Melbourne in AntarcticaHere, we examined two soil metagenome data sets obtained from a geothermal site at the summit of Mount Melbourne in Antarctica. The geothermal soil microbiome exhibits very unique features of prokaryotic diversity and functions, which will provide deeper insight into the adaptation and evolution of soil microbes in Antarctic geothermal habitats.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of a Type III Ovine Strain of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosisThe complete genome sequence of a type III strain of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis was determined. The genome size for this pathogen of sheep is 4,895,755 bp with no plasmid DNA. The chromosome contains 19 copies of the hallmark IS900 element, which is routinely used to identify this subspecies.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Curtobacterium sp. Strain YC1, Isolated from the Surface of Nostoc flagelliforme Colonies in Yinchuan, Ningxia, ChinaThe genus Curtobacterium belongs to the family Microbacteriaceae, within the phylum Actinobacteria. This genus includes a wide range of Gram-positive species associated with plants and soils. Here, we report the genome sequence of a new strain, Curtobacterium sp. strain YC1, which was isolated from the surface of Nostoc flagelliforme...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Staphylococcus argenteus Tokyo13064 and Tokyo13069, Isolated from Specimens Obtained during a Food Poisoning Outbreak in Tokyo, JapanThe complete genome sequences of two Staphylococcus argenteus strains, Tokyo13064 and Tokyo13069, isolated from human feces and suspected causative foods during a staphylococcal food poisoning outbreak, consist of 2,750,811-bp and 2,751,556-bp circular chromosomes and 2,543 and 2,548 genome annotation-predicted coding DNA sequences, respectively, with 19 rRNAs, 61...
- Amplicon Sequence CollectionsResponse to Edaphoclimatic Conditions and Crop Management of the Bacterial Microbiome of Musa acuminata Rhizosphere Profiled by 16S rRNA Gene Amplicon Sequencing
Bacterial rhizospheric microbiomes of Musa acuminata cultivated in farms close to the west and east Mexican coasts and with different climate, soils, and crop management practices, were characterized by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. Results showed that rhizospheric microbiome composition changed along with seasonal weather but were mostly indifferent to soil type...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Brucella abortus 68, Isolated from Aborted Fetal Sheep in UkraineThe complete genome sequence of Brucella abortus 68, isolated from an aborted sheep fetus in Luhansk, Ukraine, was assembled using Nanopore sequences. Two circular chromosomes totaling 3,281,317 bp (N50, 2,124,943 bp) comprised the complete genome sequence. The strain encodes the fosfomycin antibiotic resistance gene FosX, highlighting the...
- Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Dietzia sp. Strain SYD-A1, Isolated from Coal Seam Formation Water
Subsurface coal seams harbor an array of diverse microbial species subsisting as a community on the organic matter present in coal. Here, we present the annotated genome sequence of Dietzia sp. strain SYD-A1, a bacterium isolated from a terrestrial subsurface coal seam in New South Wales (NSW), Australia.
