We report the genome sequence of Clostridium tetanomorphum DSM 4474T isolated from a septic wound. In addition to its potential as a human pathogen, this species may be useful in biofuel production due to its ability to synthesize butanol without the byproduct acetone. The genome is 4,374,054 bp.
Promicromonospora sp. strain Populi is an actinobacterium isolated from the rhizosphere of a black cottonwood tree, Populus trichocarpa. We completely sequenced its 5.2-Mbp chromosome using Oxford Nanopore long reads and predicted it to encode 4,685 proteins, 3 rRNA operons, and 54 tRNAs and noncoding RNAs.
We present draft genomes of two Paraburkholderia strains and two Burkholderia strains. Three strains were isolated from surrounding soils and one from roots of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) in Michigan, USA.
The novel fungal strain, Fusarium sp. strain DS 682, was isolated from the rhizosphere of the perennial grass, Bouteloua gracilis , at the Konza Prairie Biological Station in Kansas. This fungal strain is common across North American grasslands and is resilient to environmental fluctuations. The draft genome is estimated to be 97.2% complete.
ABSTRACT Lactobacillus brevis Oregon-R-modENCODE strain BDGP6 was isolated from the gut of Drosophila melanogaster for functional host-microbial interaction studies. The bacterial chromosome is a single circular DNA molecule of 2,785,111 bp with a G+C content of 46%.
Encephalitozoon intestinalis is an obligate intracellular parasite that causes enteritis, bronchitis, conjunctivitis, and/or encephalitis in immunosuppressed and immunocompetent individuals. To better assess its genetic diversity, here we report near-chromosome-level draft genome assemblies for three geographically distinct isolates, quadrupling the number of genome assemblies available for the enigmatic fungal pathogen.
Here, we present the draft genome sequence of a novel species of the genus Singulisphaera (phylum Planctomycetes , family Isosphaeraceae ) isolated from soil. Singulisphaera sp. strain GP187 has a relatively large mobilome and numerous novel genes that may contribute to the production of bioactive molecules.
Many soil microorganisms have evolved catabolic strategies to utilize phenolic compounds arising from depolymerized lignin. We report the complete genome sequences of four Pseudomonas sp. isolates that demonstrated robust growth on a wide range of aromatic monomers and dimers that are relevant to the valorization of lignin into value-added chemicals.
ABSTRACT We report whole-genome sequences of eight bacteria isolated from laboratory-kept Macrocystis pyrifera gametophytes. The bacterial culture collection is maintained in cryostorage and will be utilized in future applications as inoculants. The genomes were assembled using Oxford Nanopore Technology long-read sequencing.
We report on complete genome sequences of five Pseudomonas soil isolates that are capable of metabolizing pentose sugars and aromatic monomers. These complete genome sequence data provide insight into possible alternative hosts for the production of biofuels and bio-based chemicals from lignocellulosic feedstock.
We report the complete genome sequences of five Variovorax strains isolated from the roots of Populus species in greenhouse and field settings. Genome sizes range from 7.44 to 7.71 Mbp and encode 6,077–6,879 predicted protein-coding genes. These genome assemblies expand the known genomic catalog of Variovorax in plant-associated environments.
Here, we present the draft genome sequence of Bordetella sp. strain FB-8, a mixotrophic iron-oxidizing bacterium isolated from creek sediment in the former uranium-mining district of Ronneburg, Germany. To date, iron oxidation has not been reported in Bordetella species, indicating that FB-8 may be an environmentally important Bordetella sp.
We report eight genomes from representatives of the phylum Acidobacteria subdivisions 1 and 3, isolated from soils. The genome sizes range from 4.9 to 6.7 Mb. Genomic analysis reveals putative genes for low- and high-affinity respiratory oxygen reductases, high-affinity hydrogenases, and the capacity to use a diverse collection of carbohydrates.
We report the complete genome sequence of Acidithiobacillus ferriphilus GT2, an acidophile isolated from gold mill tailings. The circular genome of GT2 contains 2,489 predicted protein-coding units and a single plasmid. Functional analysis indicates the metabolic potential to oxidize iron and reduced sulfur compounds and to fix N 2 and CO 2 .
ABSTRACT Bacillus sp. strain EB106-08-02-XG196 was isolated from a high-nitrate- and heavy metal-contaminated site at the Oak Ridge Reservation in Tennessee. We report the draft genome sequence of this strain to provide insights into the genomic basis for surviving in this unique environment.
Reported here are complete genome sequences for two anaerobic, thermophilic bacteria isolated from wheat straw, i.e., the (hemi)cellulolytic Thermoclostridium stercorarium subspecies strain RKWS1 (3,029,933 bp) and the hemicellulolytic Thermoanaerobacter species strain RKWS2 (2,827,640 bp). Discovery of indigenous thermophiles in plant biomass suggests that high-temperature microorganisms are more ubiquitous than previously thought.
We present genome assemblies of six Brucella melitensis strains isolated from goats and humans in Tanzania’s Kagera region. These sequences provide insight into circulating Brucella strains in Tanzania and East Africa. These data will support future comparative genomics, epidemiological investigations, and regional brucellosis control strategies.
We report the genome sequence of Dysgonomonas hofstadii DSM 104969T, a type strain isolated from a human surgical wound. The genome has 5.03 Mbp and a guanine-cytosine content of 39.27%. The complete genome sequence will facilitate studies of D. hofstadii and its pathogenic potential, particularly in relation to multidrug resistance.
