The paper nautilus, Argonauta argo, also known as the greater argonaut, is a species of octopods distinctly characterized by its pelagic lifestyle and by the presence of a spiral-shaped shell-like eggcase in females. The eggcase functions by protecting the eggs laid inside it, and by building and keeping air intakes for buoyancy. To reveal the genomic background of the species′ adaptation to pelagic lifestyle and the acquisition of its shell-like eggcase, we sequenced the draft genome sequence of the species. The genome size was 1.1 Gb, which is the smallest among the cephalopods known to date, with the top 215 scaffolds (average length 5,064,479 bp) covering 81% (1.09 Gb) of the total assembly. A total of 26,433 protein-coding genes were predicted from 16,802 assembled scaffolds. From these, we identified nearly intact HOX, Parahox, Wnt clusters and some gene clusters probably related to the pelagic lifestyle, such as reflectin, tyrosinase, and opsin. For example, opsin might have undergone an extensive duplication in order to adapt to the pelagic lifestyle, as opposed to other octopuses, which are mostly the benthic. Our gene models also discovered several genes homologous to those related to calcified shell formation in Conchiferan Mollusks, such as Pif-like, SOD, and TRX. Interestingly, comparative genomics analysis revealed that the homologous genes for such genes were also found in the genome of the octopus, which does not have a shell, as well as the basal cephalopods Nautilus. Therefore, the draft genome sequence of A. argo we presented here had not only helped us to gain further insights into the genetic background of the dynamic recruitment and dismissal of genes for the formation of an important, converging extended phenotypic structure such as the shell and the shell-like eggcase, but also the evolution of lifestyles in Cephalopods and the octopods, from benthic to pelagic.

The Pasteurella multocida capsular type A isolates can cause pneumonia and bovine respiratory disease (BRD). In this study, comparative genomics analysis was carried out to identify the virulence genes in two different virulent P. multocida capsular type A isolates (high virulent PmCQ2 and low virulent PmCQ6). The draft genome sequence of PmCQ2 is 2.32 Mbp and contains 2,002 protein-coding genes, 9 insertion sequence (IS) elements, and 1 prophage region. The draft genome sequence of PmCQ6 is 2.29 Mbp and contains 1,970 protein-coding genes, 2 IS elements, and 3 prophage regions. The genome alignment analysis revealed that the genome similarity between PmCQ2 and PmCQ6 is 99% with high colinearity. To identify the candidate genes responsible for virulence, the PmCQ2 and PmCQ6 were compared together with that of the published genomes of high virulent Pm36950 and PmHN06 and avirulent Pm3480 and Pm70 (capsular type F). Five genes and two insertion sequences are identified in high virulent strains but not in low virulent or avirulent strains. These results indicated that these genes or insertion sequences might be responsible for the virulence of P. multocida, providing prospective candidates for further studies on the pathogenesis and the host-pathogen interactions of P. multocida.

ABSTRACT Microcystis aeruginosa is one of the major species that cause toxic cyanobacterial blooms in freshwater systems worldwide. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of M. aeruginosa PMC 728.11, a microcystin-producing cyanobacterium isolated from the freshwater reservoir of Juanon in Valence, France. The genome sequence contains 276 contigs, consisting of 5,536,025 bp and 5,594 putative protein-coding genes, among which are several biosynthetic gene clusters encoding enzyme complexes involved in the production of various bioactive and toxic metabolites.

Here, we report the draft genome sequence ofArthrobacter enclensisNCIM 5488T, an actinobacterium isolated from a marine sediment sample from Chorao Island, Goa, India. This draft genome sequence consists of 4,226,231 bp with a G+C content of 67.08%, 3,888 protein-coding genes, 50 tRNAs, and 10 rRNAs. Analysis of the genome using bioinformatics tools such as antiSMASH and NaPDoS showed the presence of many unique natural product biosynthetic gene clusters.
