Understanding the molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis is useful in developing effective control methods for fungal diseases. The white root rot fungus Rosellinia necatrix is a soilborne pathogen that causes serious economic losses in various crops, including fruit trees, worldwide. Here, using next-generation sequencing techniques, we first produced a 44-Mb draft genome sequence of R. necatrix strain W97, an isolate from Japan, in which 12,444 protein-coding genes were predicted. To survey differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with the pathogenesis of the fungus, the hypovirulent W97 strain infected with Rosellinia necatrix megabirnavirus 1 (RnMBV1) was used for a comprehensive transcriptome analysis. In total, 545 and 615 genes are up- and down-regulated, respectively, in R. necatrix infected with RnMBV1. Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses of the DEGs suggested that primary and secondary metabolism would be greatly disturbed in R. necatrix infected with RnMBV1. The genes encoding transcriptional regulators, plant cell wall-degrading enzymes, and toxin production, such as cytochalasin E, were also found in the DEGs. The genetic resources provided in this study will accelerate the discovery of genes associated with pathogenesis and other biological characteristics of R. necatrix, thus contributing to disease control.

Here, we report the annotated draft genome sequence of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. eucalyptorum pathotype strain LPF602 (synonym Xanthomonas axonopodis BSC45a), isolated from eucalypt leaves showing bacterial blight symptoms in Brazil. The availability of these genomic data will help improve the understanding of the evolution and molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of this microorganism.

ABSTRACT Rhizobium sp. strain TBD182, isolated from a novel hydroponics system, is an antagonistic bacterium that inhibits the mycelial growth of Fusarium oxysporum but does not eliminate the pathogen. We report the draft genome sequence of TBD182, which may contribute to elucidation of the molecular mechanisms of its fungistatic activity.

Campylobacter jejuni is an important zoonotic pathogen known to be resistant to a wide range of antibiotics worldwide. Campylobacter jejuni may be intrinsically resistant to antibiotics or can acquire antibiotic resistance determinants through gene transfer. However, the knowledge of molecular mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance among Campylobacter isolates from wild birds, especially in Lithuania, is limited. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is a tool for better understanding the evolutionary and epidemiologic dynamics of C jejuni. This study describes a draft whole genome sequence of C jejuni MM26-781 isolated from a common pigeon ( Columba livia) in Lithuania in 2011 and assigned to ST-6424 (CC179) sequence type. The draft genome sequence contained 1.68 Mb, comprising 1651 coding genes, 40 transfer RNAs, 1 ribosomal RNA, and 69 pseudogenes with an average G + C content of 30.4%. The RAST (Rapid Annotation using Subsystem Technology) pipeline annotated (NCTC11168) a total of 305 subsystems in the genome of C jejuni MM26-781 strain, with most of the genes associated with amino acids and derivatives related to metabolism (18.93%) and protein metabolism (14.43%). The genes and mutations related to antibiotic resistance, including gyrA and gyrB genes associated with quinolone resistance, blaOXA-448 gene (locus tag C9371_07715) associated with resistance to β-lactams, rpoB gene associated with resistance to rifamycin, vgaE gene associated with resistance to streptogramin and efflux system CmeABC ( cmeA, cmeB, cmeC), efflux pump PmrA, and transcriptional regulator CmeR responsible for multidrug resistance in C jejuni MM26-781 chromosome, were identified. Also, the virulence factors, including ciaB, cadF, ceuE, pldA, motB, and bd1A genes, were identified by WGS data analysis.

Paenibacillus terrae NK3-4 is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium that may be useful for controlling plant diseases. We conducted a genomic analysis and identified the genes mediating antimicrobial functions. Additionally, an extracellular antifungal protein component was isolated and identified. The draft genome sequence was assembled into 54 contigs, with 5 458 568 bp and a G+C content of 47%. Moreover, 4 690 015 bp encoded 5090 proteins, 7 rRNAs, and 54 tRNAs. Forty-four genes involved in antimicrobial functions were detected. They mainly encode 19 non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs); one polyketide synthase/NRPSs hybrid enzyme; four Zn-dependent metalloproteases; three antilisterial bacteriocin subtilosin biosynthesis proteins (AlbA); four serine proteases; five pectate lyases; three beta-glucanases; and four 1,4-beta-xylanases. These include four novel NRPSs that have not been found in any species of Paenibacillus. Furthermore, five proteins exhibiting antifungal activity were identified from the antifungal extracellular protein component based on MS/MS and the strain NK3-4 predicted protein library. On the basis of these features, we propose that strain NK3-4 represents a promising biocontrol agent for protecting plant from diseases. The draft genome sequence described herein may provide the genetic basis for the characterization of the molecular mechanisms underlying the biocontrol functions. It may also facilitate the development of rational strategies for improving the strain.
