Three strains of Geobacillus stearothermophilus (designated A1, P3, and D1) were isolated from a New Zealand milk powder manufacturing plant. Here, we describe their draft genome sequences. This information provided the first genomic insights into the nature of G. stearothermophilus strains present in the milk powder manufacturing environment.

ABSTRACTFree ions of Na+, K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+influenced the optical density of planktonic cultures of thermophilic bacilli.Anoxybacillus flavithermusE16 andGeobacillussp. strain F75 (milk powder manufacturing plant isolates) andA. flavithermusDSM 2641 andG. thermoleovoransDSM 5366 were studied. Ca2+and Mg2+were associated with increases in optical density more so than Na+and K+. Overall, it appeared that Ca2+and/or Mg2+was required for the production of protein in thermophilic bacilli, as shown by results obtained withA. flavithermusE16, which was selected for further study.

We introduce draft genome sequences of strains CDC1121-73 (human bronchial wash isolate) and GK1025 (powdered infant formula manufacturing facility isolate), which are both malonate-positiveCronobacter sakazakiiserogroup O:2, sequence type 64. Assemblies for these strains have sizes of 4,442,307 and 4,599,266 bp and % G+C contents of 56.9 and 56.7, respectively.

ABSTRACT We present here the draft genome sequences of 14 Pseudomonas strains isolated from Prunus sp. plants in New Zealand and overseas. These new genomic data will be used to improve the detection of Pseudomonas strains found in imported plant material at the New Zealand border, improving the time involved in the process of biosecurity decision-making.

ABSTRACT Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. actinidiae is the causal agent of summer canker in kiwifruit plants in South Korea. We report here the draft genome sequences of two P. carotovorum subsp. actinidiae strains, ICMP 19971 and ICMP 19972, which were originally isolated from Actinidia chinensis with symptoms of summer canker. These genome sequences will aid in the identification of genetic traits associated with their unusual capacity to cause canker and help understanding of the threat these exotic enterobacteria pose to the New Zealand kiwifruit industry.

ABSTRACT Draft genomes of seven extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli strains recovered from New Zealand waterways are described. The mean genome size was 5.1 Mb, with 4,724 coding sequences. All genomes contained the ESBL gene blaCTX-M, and one carried a plasmid-mediated AmpC gene, blaCMY-2. A multidrug-resistant genotype was detected in three isolates.

The draft genome sequences for eight isolates of Campylobacter helveticus isolated from companion animals are described and compared with that of the type strain. On average, the genomes are 1,825,025 bp long and have a GC content of 34.4% and 1,885 coding DNA sequences (CDSs). CRISPRs were detected in only one isolate and phages in none.

Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris is a necrotrophic bacterial pathogen of crucifers. We report here the draft genome sequences of isolates ICMP 4013 and ICMP 21080 from New Zealand. These sequences will facilitate the identification of race-specific factors in X. campestris pv. campestris.

ABSTRACT Escherichia coli bacteria commonly colonize the gastrointestinal tracts of farmed ruminants. Cattle are a well-recognized reservoir of zoonotic E. coli; we report here, however, the draft genome sequences of three diarrheagenic E. coli strains isolated from farmed red deer (Cervus elaphus) in the Manawatu region of New Zealand.

We report here the annotated draft genome sequences of strains Xanthomonas arboricola pv. celebensis NCPPB 1832 and NCPPB 1630 (NCPPB, National Collection of Plant Pathogenic Bacteria), both isolated from Musa species in New Zealand. This will allow the comparison of genomes between phylogenetically distant xanthomonads that have independently converged with the ability to colonize banana plants.
