Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Xanthomonas Phage PaganThe T7-like podophage Pagan infects Xanthomonas sp. strain ATCC PTA-13101, which was isolated from rice. The 44-kbp Pagan genome contains direct terminal repeats and contains 59 genes, 27 of which have a predicted function. Pagan is most closely related to Xanthomonas phage phi Xc10 and Xylella...
Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of Lactobacillus fermentum 47-7, a Good In Vitro Probiotic Strain Isolated from a Healthy Thai InfantWe report the genome sequence of Lactobacillus fermentum 47-7, a good in vitro probiotic strain isolated from an infant. Its genome size is 1.83 Mb, it is assembled from 180 contigs, and it consists of 1,636 protein-coding genes, 15 rRNAs, 57 tRNAs, and 4 noncoding RNAs. This genome sequence will be useful for a variety of applications.
Genome SequencesUpdated Genome Sequence and Annotation for the Full Genome of Pseudomonas protegens CHA0...Minor differences in the previously obtained genome of Pseudomonas protegens CHA0 were detected after resequencing the strain. Based on this, the genome size slightly increased. Additionally, we performed a manual annotation of genes involved in biocontrol and insect pathogenicity. This annotation version will be the basis for upcoming genome studies.
Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of Mariprofundus sp. Strain EBB-1, a Novel Marine Autotroph Isolated from an Iron-Sulfur MineralMariprofundus sp. strain EBB-1 was isolated from a pyrrhotite biofilm incubated in seawater from East Boothbay (ME, USA). Strain EBB-1 is an autotrophic member of the class Zetaproteobacteria with the ability to form iron oxide biominerals. Here, we present the 2.88-Mb genome sequence of EBB-1,...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Strain McKraeHerpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) strain McKrae is highly virulent and relatively neuroinvasive in animal models compared with other wild-type HSV-1 strains. To identify the genetic determinants that lead to the unique phenotypes of the McKrae strain, we sequenced its genome with PacBio single-molecule real-time (SMRT) technology and resolved the complete sequence.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Comamonas testosteroni TA441, a Bacterium That Has a Cryptic Phenol Degradation Gene ClusterComamonas testosteroni TA441 has a complete phenol degradation gene cluster but does not degrade phenol because the cluster is tightly repressed. However, mutant strains that can degrade phenol arise by spontaneous mutations of a repressor gene during incubation with phenol. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of strain TA441.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of Three Novel Acinetobacter Isolates from an Irish Commercial Pig FarmAcinetobacter species are important in the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which threatens human and animal health worldwide. Here, we present the draft genome sequences of three Acinetobacter species strains (RF14B, RF15A, and RF15B) isolated from pig feces and the floor of...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Lytic Polysaccharide-Degrading Klebsiella pneumoniae Bacteriophages vB_KpnS_FZ10, vB_KpnP_FZ12, vB_KpnM_FZ14, and vB_KpnS_FZ41Members of the genus Klebsiella are among the leading microbial pathogens associated with nosocomial infection. At the same time, most nosocomial infections are caused by strains resistant to antibiotics. Here, we announce the complete genome sequences of four lytic polysaccharide-degrading bacteriophages, which will be used in complex therapeutic preparations.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequencing of Thermus thermophilus Strain HC11, Isolated from Mine Geyser in JapanThermus thermophilus strain HC11 was isolated from Mine Geyser in Japan, where type strain HB8 was isolated 50 years ago. In this article, the complete genome sequence of HC11 is presented. HC11 shares the highest average nucleotide identity with HB8 among known T. thermophilus genomes (93.1%) with...
Genome SequencesSequencing and Analysis of Three Mycobacterium tuberculosis Genomes of the B0/N-90 SublineageWe report the draft genome sequences of three Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates belonging to the B0/N-90 sublineage, EKB34, EKB53, and EKB79. The B0/N-90 sublineage belongs to the prevalent (in Russia) and highly virulent Beijing-B0/W148 sublineage. Isolates EKB34 and EKB79 were obtained from people with immune deficiency.
