ABSTRACT The draft genome of Anoxybacillus sp. strain UARK-01, a novel lignin-utilizing thermophilic soil bacterium, represents the first sequence of an Anoxybacillus isolate from the United States. The genome was sequenced using the Illumina MiSeq platform, de novo assembled using SeqMan NGen, and annotated at NCBI. The genome sequence revealed genes for laccase and lignocellulose degradation enzymes.

ABSTRACT The genomes of two strains of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Cubana and serovar Muenchen, isolated from dry hazelnuts and chia seeds, respectively, were sequenced using the Illumina MiSeq platform, assembled de novo using the overlap-layout-consensus method, and aligned to their respective most identical sequence genome scaffolds using MUMMER and BLAST searches.

Lactobacillus reuteri strain LR CGMCC 11154, which was isolated from the feces of healthy weaned piglets, was experimentally proven to be a probiotic bacterium. The whole genome was sequenced on the Illumina Miseq platform to obtain the draft genome, which consists of 120 contigs totaling 1.9 Mbp encoding 1,854 genes.

ABSTRACTHere, we report the draft genome sequences of isolates ofAnaplasma phagocytophilum,Anaplasma marginale, andAnaplasma ovis. The genomes ofA. phagocytophilum(human),A. marginale(cattle), andA. ovis(goat) isolates from the United States were sequenced and characterized. This is the first report of anA. ovisgenome sequence.

AbstractCrop wild relatives contain great levels of genetic diversity, representing an invaluable resource for crop improvement. Many of their traits have the potential to help crops become more resistant and resilient, and adapt to the new conditions that they will experience due to climate change. An impressive global effort occurs for the conservation of various wild crop relatives and facilitates their use in crop breeding for food security.The genus Brassica is listed in Annex I of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. Brassica oleracea (or wild cabbage) is a species native to coastal southern and western Europe that has become established as an important human food crop plant because of its large reserves stored over the winter in its leaves.Brassica cretica Lam. is a wild relative crop in the brassica group and B. cretica subsp. nivea has been suggested as a separate subspecies. The species B. cretica has been proposed as a potential gene donor to a number of crops in the brassica group, including broccoli, Brussels sprout, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, swede, turnip and oilseed rape.Here, we present the draft de novo genome assemblies of four B. cretica individuals, including two B. cretica subsp. nivea and two B. cretica.De novo assembly of Illumina MiSeq genomic shotgun sequencing data yielded 243,461 contigs totalling 412.5 Mb in length, corresponding to 122 % of the estimated genome size of B. cretica (339 Mb). According to synteny mapping and phylogenetic analysis of conserved genes, B. cretica genome based on our sequence data reveals approximately 30.360 proteins.Furthermore, our demographic analysis based on whole genome data, suggests that distinct populations of B. cretica are not isolated. Our findings suggest that the classification of the B. cretica in distinct subspecies is not supported from the genome sequence data we analyzed.

Phyllachora maydis is an important fungal pathogen that causes tar spot of corn and has led to significant yield loss in the United States and other countries. P. maydis is an obligate biotroph belonging to the Sordariomycetes class of Ascomycota. Due to the challenges posed by their obligate nature, there is no genome sequence available in the Phyllachora genus. P. maydis isolate PM01 was collected from a corn field in Indiana and the genome was determined by next-generation sequencing. The assembly size is 45.7 Mb, with 56.46% repetitive sequences. There are 5,992 protein-coding genes and 59 are predicted as effector proteins. This genome resource will increase our understanding of genomic features of P. maydis and will assist in studying the corn–P. maydis interaction and identifying potential resistant candidates for corn breeding programs.

ABSTRACTThe speciesXanthomonas oryzaeis comprised of two designated pathovars, both of which cause economically significant diseases of rice in Asia and Africa. AlthoughX. oryzaeis not considered endemic in the United States, anX. oryzae-like bacterium was isolated from U.S. rice and southern cutgrass in the late 1980s. The U.S. strains were weakly pathogenic and genetically distinct from characterizedX. oryzaepathovars. In the current study, a draft genome sequence from two U.S.Xanthomonasstrains revealed that the U.S. strains form a novel clade within theX. oryzaespecies, distinct from all strains known to cause significant yield loss. Comparative genome analysis revealed several putative gene clusters specific to the U.S. strains and supported previous reports that the U.S. strains lack transcriptional activator-like (TAL) effectors. In addition to phylogenetic and comparative analyses, the genome sequence was used for designing robust U.S. strain-specific primers, demonstrating the usefulness of a draft genome sequence in the rapid development of diagnostic tools.

ABSTRACT Mycobacterium virginiense , a newly described species of the Mycobacterium terrae complex, is a cause of tenosynovitis and osteomyelitis in the United States. Here, we report the 4,849,424-bp draft genome sequence of M. virginiense strain GF75, isolated from a mud sample taken from a Japanese swine farm.

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Corvallis is commonly reported in avian populations and avian by-products. We report the draft genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant S. Corvallis strain (NPHL 15376). To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of this serovar isolated from human blood in the United States.
