Project description:Sebaldella termitidis (Sebald 1962) Collins and Shah 1986, is the only species in the genus Sebaldella within the fusobacterial family 'Leptotrichiaceae'. The sole and type strain of the species was first isolated about 50 years ago from intestinal content of Mediterranean termites. The species is of interest for its very isolated phylogenetic position within the phylum Fusobacteria in the tree of life, with no other species sharing more than 90% 16S rRNA sequence similarity. The 4,486,650 bp long genome with its 4,210 protein-coding and 54 RNA genes is part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project.
Project description:Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis is the etiologic agent of bovine genital campylobacteriosis, a sexually transmitted disease of cattle that is of worldwide importance. The complete sequencing and annotation of the genome of the type strain C. fetus subsp. venerealis NCTC 10354(T) are reported.
Project description:Paenibacillus konkukensis sp. nov., SK3146 is a novel strain isolated from a pig feed. Here, we present complete genome sequence of SK3146. The genome consists of a single circular genome measuring 7,968,964 bp in size with an average guanine + cytosine (G+C) content of 53.4%. Genomic annotation revealed that the strain encodes 151 proteins related to hydrolases (EC3), which was higher than those in Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli. Diverse kinds of hydrolases including galactosidase, glucosidase, cellulase, lipase, xylanase, and protease were found in the genome of SK3146, coupled with one bacteriocin encoding gene. The complete genome sequence of P. konkukensis SK3146 indicates the immense probiotic potential of the strain with nutrient digestibility and antimicrobial activity functions.
Project description:We isolated the novel strain Vibrio rotiferianus AM7 from the shell of an abalone. In this article, we report the complete genome sequence of this organism, which was obtained by combining Oxford Nanopore long-read and Illumina short-read sequencing data.
Project description:Vibrio natriegens strain PWH3a, isolated from the Texas Gulf Coast, is used as a model organism in marine microbiology. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of strain PWH3a, which has two circular chromosomes, 4,650 coding sequences, 34 rRNA, 4 noncoding RNA (ncRNA), 131 tRNA genes, and one Mu-like prophage sequence.
Project description:We report here the genome sequences of the novel isolates G62T and G98T from rhodoliths. The nearly complete genomes consisted of 4.7 Mbp (4,233 coding sequences [CDS]) for G62T and 4.5 Mbp (4,085 CDS) for G98T. Genomic taxonomy places these new genomes into 2 new species.
Project description:Here, we present the draft genome of Porphyrobacter mercurialis strain Coronado, the proposed type strain for this species. The assembly contains 3,482,341 bp in 10 contigs.
Project description:Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Vibrio harveyi strain ATCC 33866, generated from Illumina and Oxford Nanopore sequencing. The assembled genome sequence comprises two circular chromosomes with lengths of 3,504,760 bp and 2,218,060 bp, respectively.
Project description:We found a new qnr gene, qnrVF1, carried by a multidrug resistance plasmid in a clinical Vibrio furnissii isolate. QnrVF1 exhibits 44.6% to 72.5% similarity in identity with other Qnr family proteins. QnrVF alleles are mainly encoded by chromosomes of V. furnissii and Vibrio fluvialis. Phylogenic analysis showed that QnrVF1 and QnrVF2 form a distinct clade in Qnr proteins. Thus, qnrVF represents a new qnr family. In addition, the qnrVF1 gene is often flanked by the mobile element ISCR1. Thus, it is likely that qnrVF1 is mobilized by ISCR1 from chromosome to plasmid in V. furnissii. IMPORTANCE Quinolones are widely used drugs. Bacteria contain a quinolone resistance gene, which mediates resistance to quinolones. Currently, seven families of Qnr proteins, QnrVC, QnrA, QnrB, QnrC, QnrD, QnrE, and QnrS, have been identified. However, it is unclear whether there are any other qnr families. In this study, we identified a new qnr family, qnrVF. We found many V. furnissii and V. fluvialis strains that possess chromosomal qnrVF alleles, suggesting that V. furnissii and V. fluvialis are the reservoirs of qnrVF. We also found that QnrVF1 confers low-level resistance to quinolones. ISCR1 may facilitate the spread of qnrVF1. The emergence and spread of qnrVF may pose a considerable threat to public health.
