ABSTRACT Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Streptococcus mutans strain MD, which produces potent mutacins capable of inhibiting streptococci. MD is a relatively uncharacterized strain whose genome information was unavailable. This study provides useful information for comparative genomic study and for understanding the repertoire of mutacins in S. mutans.

To date, only 13 genomes of green sulfur bacteria (family Chlorobiaceae ) have been sequenced. The sequenced strains do not cover the full phylogenetic diversity of the family. We determined the complete genome sequence of Prosthecochloris sp. strain CIB 2401, thereby increasing the genome information for the poorly represented marine Chlorobiaceae .

Abstract Granaticin is a kind of antibiotics with the function of anticancer, antibacterial, anticoccidial. Streptomyces sp. A1013Y is a new strain isolated from soil with granaticin-producing ability. The genome information was analyzed for the further study of granaticin. The present work reported the complete genome of S. sp. A1013Y, which contains a 7,646,296 bp chromosome with an average GC content of 71.59%. A total of 7361 CDSs, including 66 tRNA genes, 18 rRNA genes and 23 clusters, were identified in the genome. With homologous recombination, an in-frame deletion mutant was constructed to confirm the granaticin cluster. The fermentation liquid of the mutant did not contain granaticin based on HPLC and LC-MS analysis, indicating that S. sp. A1013Y is a granaticin producer. Comparing the granaticin biosynthesis cluster of S. sp. A1013Y with Streptomycesviolaceoruber Tü22 and Streptomyces vietnamensis GIMV4.0001T, which were sequenced and produce granaticin, the similarity between the granaticin clusters was 78% and 83% respectively, but some genes still weren’t identified in the granaticin biosynthesis cluster. The phylogenetic analysis and ANI value between S. sp. A1013Y and other Streptomyces species, including S. vietnamensis GIMV4.0001T, were all below 85%, which showed that S. sp. A1013Y was probably a novel streptomyces strain that produced granaticin. The whole genome information of S. sp. A1013Y provides a valuable foundation for future granaticin analyses as well as biomedicine applications.

Alternaria brassicae, a necrotrophic fungal pathogen, causes Alternaria blight, an important disease of brassica crops. Although many Alternaria spp. have been sequenced, no genome information is available for A. brassicae, a monotypic lineage within the Alternaria genus. A highly contiguous genome assembly of A. brassicae has been generated using Nanopore MinION sequencing with an N50 of 2.98 Mb, yielding nine full chromosome-level sequences. This study adds to the current genomic resources available for the genus Alternaria and will provide opportunities for further analyses to unravel the mechanisms underlying pathogenicity of this important necrotrophic pathogen.

Abstract Chitinases possess an extraordinary ability to directly hydrolyze highly insoluble chitin polymers to low-molecular-weight chito-oligomers, which possess particular biological functions, such as elicitor action and antitumor activity. A novel strain, Paenibacillus xylanilyticus W4, which was isolated from soil, showed strong chitin degradation activity. Here, we first reported the complete genome information of P. xylanilyticus. Paenibacillus xylanilyticus W4 contains a 5,532,141 bp single circular chromosome with 47.33% GC content. The genome contains 5,996 genes, including 39 rRNA- and 109 tRNA-coding genes. Phylogenetic analysis and Genome-to-Genome Distance revealed its taxonomic characterization into a separate family. Six glycoside hydrolase 18 (GH18) and 2 GH23 enzymes involved in chitin degradation. Although many of the chitinases were conserved in Paenibacillus, several GH18 chitinases share high similarity with Bacillus circulans. The genome information provided here could benefit for understanding the chitin-degrading properties of P. xylanilyticus as well as its potential application in biotechnological and pharmaceutical fields.

Cyanobacterial genus Leptolyngbya comprises genetically diverse species, but the availability of their complete genome information is limited. Here, we isolated Leptolyngbya sp. strain NIES-3755 from soil at the Toyohashi University of Technology, Japan. We determined the complete genome sequence of the NIES-3755 strain, which is composed of one chromosome and three plasmids.

ABSTRACT Stenotrophomonas sp. strain WZN-1, isolated from an e-waste recycling area in Tianjin, China, is capable of degrading polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). The complete genome of strain WZN-1 consists of 4,512,703 bp. This genome information will provide important information about the biodegradation pathways and mechanisms of PBDEs.

ABSTRACT Leishmania tarentolae is a protozoan parasite of lizards and is nonpathogenic to mammals. Genome information for the nonpathogenic species will facilitate an understanding of the pathology caused by species pathogenic to mammals. Here, we report resequencing of the L. tarentolae genome with a single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencer to provide a more complete genome assembly.

AbstractProteomic approaches based on two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, mass spectrometry and database search are widely used to address questions about the development, physiology and quality of seeds. Identification of proteins is of great importance in proteomic analyses. For seed crops without full genome information, cross-species protein identification by mass spectrometry-driven sequence similarity search can be used. However, this approach is risky due to protein polymorphism between different species. Species-specific expressed sequence tag (EST) databases are an invaluable resource, which complements mass spectrometry data analysis for protein identification. Here, we illustrate a modified method of protein identification and characterization using species-specific EST databases and peptide mass fingerprinting with an example of protein identification. This method is reliable, supplements the existing methods, and improves the efficiency and accuracy of protein identification for seed crops for which complete genome information is not available.
