Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Isolates of Diverse Host Origin from the E. coli Reference Center at Penn State University...Escherichia coli strains present a vast genomic diversity. We report the draft genome sequences of 1,000 isolates from the E. coli Reference Center at Penn State University. These strains were originally isolated from multiple animal and environmental sources over the past 50 years.
Genome SequencesWhole-Genome Sequence of SARS-CoV-2 Isolate Siena-1/2020The complete genome sequence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) isolate Siena-1/2020 was obtained by Nanopore sequencing, combining the direct RNA sequencing and amplicon sequencing approaches. The isolate belongs to the B1.1 lineage, which is prevalent in Europe, and contains a mutation in the spike protein coding sequence leading to the D614G amino acid change.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Lactobacillales Isolated from the International Space StationNineteen strains from the order Lactobacillales were isolated from the International Space Station and commercial resupply vehicle, and whole-genome sequences (WGS) were generated. WGS would permit the characterization of these potentially pathogenic bacteria that have been adapting to the extreme conditions of the space environment.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Brucella ceti Isolated in the Western Pacific OceanIn 2018, Brucella ceti was isolated from a bottlenose dolphin from the western Pacific Ocean. Here, we report a draft genome sequence of the isolate BD1442 of sequence type 27, which is the only sequence type known to have been isolated from human clinical cases.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Ceftriaxone-Resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae SS3160, Isolated in Tokyo, JapanWe report the complete genome sequence of ceftriaxone-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae SS3160, harboring the mosaic penA-60.001 allele. This Japanese isolate has a unique sequence type (ST), ST13429, which was determined by multilocus sequence typing from the chromosome sequence (2,214,955 bp). It carries two plasmids, pConjugative (39,057 bp) and pCryptic (4,...
Genome SequencesComplete Chloroplast Genome Sequence of a Black Spruce (Picea mariana) from Eastern CanadaHere, we present the chloroplast genome sequence of black spruce (Picea mariana), a conifer widely distributed throughout North American boreal forests. This complete and annotated chloroplast sequence is 123,961 bp long and will contribute to future studies on the genetic basis of evolutionary change in spruce and adaptation in conifers.
Genome SequencesShotgun Metagenomic Survey of Maize Soil RhizobiomeThe plant soil rhizobiome induces critical functions in the plant proximal environment. Linkages between soil microbiota and primary functional attributes are underexplored. Here, we present the metagenomes of maize soil rhizosphere organisms with functional diversity associated with farms at two different municipalities in North West and Gauteng provinces of South Africa. We describe a plenteous and diverse microbial community.

Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences for Pseudomonas sp. Strains 29A and 43APseudomonas sp. strains 29A and 43A were originally isolated from the phyllosphere of individual plants of Cardamine cordifolia (Brassicaceae). Here, we report complete genome sequences for these two closely related strains, assembled using a hybrid approach combining Illumina paired-end reads and longer reads sequenced on an Oxford Nanopore MinION flow cell...
Genome SequencesGenome Sequences of Two Microcystis aeruginosa (Chroococcales, Cyanobacteria) Strains from Florida (United States) with Disparate Toxigenic PotentialsHere, we report the draft genomes of two Microcystis aeruginosa strains, i.e., M. aeruginosa BLCC-F108, which was isolated from a toxic bloom in eutrophic waters in Lake Okeechobee (Florida, USA), and M. aeruginosa BLCC-F158,...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Two Akabane Virus Strains Causing Bovine Postnatal Encephalomyelitis in JapanAkabane virus (AKAV) (genus Orthobunyavirus, family Peribunyaviridae) is an arthropod-borne virus that causes congenital abnormalities in ruminants. Here, we report the complete genome sequences of two AKAV strains causing nonsuppurative encephalomyelitis in cattle by postnatal infection in Japan.
