ABSTRACT Burkholderia cepacia ATCC 17759, isolated from forest soils in Trinidad, accumulates large amounts of polyhydroxyalkanoate copolymers when grown on xylose, mannose, arabinose, other carbohydrates, and organic acid cosubstrates. This 8.72-Mb draft genome sequence of B. cepacia ATCC 17759 will provide better insight into this organism's utility in lignocellulose bioconversion.

ABSTRACT Aquimarina sp. strain I32.4 (formerly Aquimarina sp. ‘ homaria ’) is a putative pathogen involved in epizootic shell disease in the American lobster ( Homarus americanus ). We report here the draft genome sequence for Aquimarina sp. strain I32.4 and describe virulence factors that may provide insight into its mechanism of pathogenicity.

ABSTRACT We report here the draft genome sequence of Hydrogenibacillus schlegelii MA48, a thermophilic facultative anaerobe that can oxidize hydrogen aerobically. H. schlegelii MA48 belongs to a deep-branching clade of the Bacilli class and provides important insight into the acquisition of aerobic respiration within the Firmicutes phylum.

A draft genome sequence of Methanobacterium sp. strain 34x was reconstructed from the metagenome of an enriched electromethanogenic biocathode operated in a microbial electrosynthesis (MES) reactor. Methanobacterium sp. strain 34x has 68.98% nucleotide-level genomic similarity with the closest related methanogen available with a whole-genome assembly, Methanobacterium lacus strain AL-21. This genome will provide insight into the functional potential of methanogens at the biocathodes of MES systems.

ABSTRACT Bacillus megaterium strain O1 was isolated from a soapnut (Sapindus saponaria) surface and degrades Quillaja saponin as a sole carbon source. We report the draft genome sequence of B. megaterium O1, which has an estimated size of 5.1 Mb. Study of this isolate will provide insight into mechanisms of saponin degradation.

ABSTRACT Azospirillum sp. strain B2 is a soil bacterium which was originally isolated from the Sosvyatskoe raised Sphagnum bog in Russia. Here, we present the approximately 8-Mb draft genome sequence of Azospirillum sp. B2, with the aim of providing insight into the genomic basis of its ecological success in peatland settings.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa TUEPA7472 is extensively drug resistant (XDR) and is a representative Gram-negative rod that is multiresistant toward 4 classes of clinically relevant antibiotics (4MRGN). The 6.8-Mb draft genome sequence of this strain provides insight into these resistance mechanisms and the potential of the strain to produce virulence factors.

The haloalkaliphilic bacterium Alkalicoccus saliphilus DSM 15402T was isolated from a mineral pool. It grows aerobically at an optimum of 15% (wt/vol) salinity and pH 9.0. The draft genome consists of approximately 3.52 Mb and contains 3,434 predicted genes. Various genes are potentially involved in the adaptation mechanisms for both osmotic stress and pH homeostasis, providing insight into specific adaptations to this double-extreme environment.

ABSTRACT The haloalkaliphilic archaeon Natronolimnobius baerhuensis was isolated from a soda lake in Inner Mongolia (China), growing optimally at about 20% NaCl and pH 9.0. The draft genome consists of approximately 3.91 Mb and contains 3,810 predicted genes. Some genes that regulate intracellular osmotic stress and pH homeostasis were identified, providing insight into specific adaptations to this double-extreme environment.

ABSTRACT Clostridium liquoris is a strictly anaerobic, Gram-positive, nonmotile, spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium. The major fermentation products from glucose are ethanol and butyrate. C. liquoris was isolated from a 20-year-old liquor fermentation pit. The draft genome sequence consists of a chromosome (2.892 Mb) harboring 2,788 predicted protein-encoding genes.
