Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of Escherichia coli KI683, Isolated from a Urosepsis PatientEscherichia coli KI683 was isolated from blood of a patient who developed septicemia as a complication of a urinary tract infection. Genome sequencing resulted in three contigs with a total genome size of 5,243,173 bp encoding 5,143 genes.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Avian Coronavirus Strain GA08 (GI-27 Lineage)Avian coronavirus, also known as infectious bronchitis virus, is a highly contagious respiratory pathogen of chickens that is responsible for major economic losses to the poultry industry around the globe. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of strain GA08 of the GI-27 lineage, isolated from a fecal sample from a broiler chicken collected in Georgia in 2015.
Genome SequencesA 25-Year-Old Sample Contributes the Complete Genome Sequence of Avian Coronavirus Vaccine Strain ArkDPI, Reisolated from Commercial Broilers in the United StatesHere, we report the complete genome sequence of Avian coronavirus strain ArkDPI of the GI-9 lineage, isolated from broiler chickens in North Georgia in 1994. This is the complete genome sequence of this vaccine strain, reisolated from broilers in the United States.
Genome SequencesGenome Sequence of a Weissella confusa Strain Isolated from the First Reported Case of Neonatal Sepsis in an EquidThe genome of a Weissella confusa strain isolated from a foal with sepsis is reported. Weissella confusa inhabits feces and causes disease in immunocompromised humans and animals. It is important for veterinarians to be aware of the pathogenic ability of these bacteria due to the unknown potential...
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Mycoplasma felis Strain Myco-2, Isolated from an Equine Tracheal Wash Sample in JapanMycoplasma felis causes conjunctivitis in cats and respiratory diseases in horses. We report here the complete genome assembly of equine Mycoplasma felis strain Myco-2, which was isolated from an ill horse in Japan.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequences of Five Human Coronavirus NL63 Strains Causing Respiratory Illness in Hospitalized Children in ChinaWe report the complete genome sequences of five human coronavirus NL63 (HCoV-NL63) strains obtained using next-generation sequencing. The five HCoV-NL63 strains were obtained from hospitalized children with severe acute respiratory infection detected in Guangdong, China. This study provides several complete genomes of HCoV-NL63 and improves our understanding of HCoV-NL63 evolution in China.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Bacillus velezensis Strain AL7, a Biocontrol Agent for Suppression of Cotton Verticillium WiltBacillus velezensis AL7, isolated from cotton soil, had strong antagonistic activity to Verticillium dahlia Kleb. The AL7 genome consisted of one chromosome with 3,894,709 bp (46.64% G+C content). Genome annotation predicted 3,706 protein-coding genes, 86 tRNAs, and 27 rRNAs. We sequenced and annotated the complete AL7 genome to help us better understand use...
Genome SequencesWhole-Genome Sequence of the Cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. Strain WH 8101Synechococcus spp. are unicellular cyanobacteria that are globally distributed and are important primary producers in marine coastal environments. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Synechococcus sp. strain WH 8101 and identify genomic islands that may play a role in virus-host interactions.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequences of 16 Halophilic Prokaryotes Isolated from Diverse EnvironmentsHalophile-specific enzymes have wide-ranging industrial and commercial applications. Despite their importance, there is a paucity of available halophile whole-genome sequences. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of 16 diverse salt-tolerant strains of bacteria and archaea isolated from a variety of high-salt environments.
Genome SequencesDraft Genome Sequence of Adlercreutzia equolifaciens IPLA 37004, a Human Intestinal Strain That Does Not Produce Equol from DaidzeinEquol is an intestinal bacterial metabolite derived from the isoflavone daidzein and has beneficial health effects. Most equol producers belong to the family Coriobacteriaceae, which includes species such as Adlercreutzia equolifaciens. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of A. equolifaciens...
