ABSTRACTPantoea agglomeransis a common soil bacterium used in the biocontrol of fungi and bacteria but is also an opportunistic human pathogen. It has been described extensively in this context, but knowledge of bacteriophages infecting this species is limited. Bacteriophages LIMEzero and LIMElight ofP. agglomeransare lytic phages, isolated from soil samples, belonging to thePodoviridaeand are the firstPantoeaphages of this family to be described. The double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genomes (43,032 bp and 44,546 bp, respectively) encode 57 and 55 open reading frames (ORFs). Based on the presence of an RNA polymerase in their genomes and their overall genome architecture, these phages should be classified in the subfamily of theAutographivirinae, within the genus of the “phiKMV-like viruses.” Phylogenetic analysis of all the sequenced members of theAutographivirinaesupports the classification of phages LIMElight and LIMEzero as members of the “phiKMV-like viruses” and corroborates the subdivision into the different genera. These data expand the knowledge ofPantoeaphages and illustrate the wide host diversity of phages within the “phiKMV-like viruses.”

ABSTRACT The coding-complete genome sequences of an iteradensovirus (family Parvoviridae) and an alphapermutotetra-like virus (family Permutotetraviridae) were discovered from transcriptomic data sets obtained from Thaumetopoea pityocampa larvae collected in Portugal. Each of the coding-complete genome sequences of these viruses contains three main open reading frames (ORFs).

ABSTRACT Acinetobacter myovirus BS46 was isolated from sewage by J. S. Soothill in 1991. We have sequenced the genome of BS46 and found it to be almost unique. BS46 contains double-stranded DNA with a genome size of 94,068 bp and 176 predicted open reading frames. The gene encoding the tailspike that presumably possesses depolymerase activity toward the capsular polysaccharides of the bacterial host was identified.

Complete genome sequences of six Ambystoma tigrinum viruses (ATV) were determined directly from tail clips of western tiger salamanders (Ambystoma mavortium) from 2013 (high-mortality year) and 2014 (low-mortality year) in Alberta, Canada. The genome lengths ranged from 106,258 to 106,915 bp and contained 108 open reading frames encoding predicted proteins larger than 50 amino acids.

ABSTRACT We report the complete genome sequences of 10 virulent phages of the Skunavirus genus (Siphoviridae) that infect Lactococcus lactis strains used for cheddar cheese production in Canada. Their linear genomes range from 28,969 bp to 31,042 bp with GC contents of 34.1 to 35.1% and 55 to 60 predicted open reading frames (ORFs).

ABSTRACTThe major photopigment of the cyanobacteriumAcaryochloris marinais chlorophylld, while its direct biosynthetic precursor, chlorophylla, is also present in the cell. These pigments, along with the majority of chlorophylls utilized by oxygenic phototrophs, carry an ethyl group at the C-8 position of the molecule, having undergone reduction of a vinyl group during biosynthesis. Two unrelated classes of 8-vinyl reductase involved in the biosynthesis of chlorophylls are known to exist, BciA and BciB. The genome ofAcaryochloris marinacontains open reading frames (ORFs) encoding proteins displaying high sequence similarity to BciA or BciB, although they are annotated as genes involved in transcriptional control (nmrA) and methanogenesis (frhB), respectively. These genes were introduced into an 8-vinyl chlorophylla-producing ΔbciBstrain ofSynechocystissp. strain PCC 6803, and both were shown to restore synthesis of the pigment with an ethyl group at C-8, demonstrating their activities as 8-vinyl reductases. We propose thatnmrAandfrhBbe reassigned asbciAandbciB, respectively; transcript and proteomic analysis ofAcaryochloris marinareveal that bothbciAandbciBare expressed and their encoded proteins are present in the cell, possibly in order to ensure that all synthesized chlorophyll pigment carries an ethyl group at C-8. Potential reasons for the presence of two 8-vinyl reductases in this strain, which is unique for cyanobacteria, are discussed.IMPORTANCEThe cyanobacteriumAcaryochloris marinais the best-studied phototrophic organism that uses chlorophylldfor photosynthesis. Unique among cyanobacteria sequenced to date, its genome contains ORFs encoding two unrelated enzymes that catalyze the reduction of the C-8 vinyl group of a precursor molecule to an ethyl group. Carrying a reduced C-8 group may be of particular importance to organisms containing chlorophylld. Plant genomes also contain orthologs of both of these genes; thus, the bacterial progenitor of the chloroplast may also have contained bothbciAandbciB.

ABSTRACTA methicillin-resistantmecB-positiveMacrococcus caseolyticus(strain KM45013) was isolated from the nares of a dog with rhinitis. It contained a novel 39-kb transposon-defective completemecB-carrying staphylococcal cassette chromosomemecelement (SCCmecKM45013). SCCmecKM45013contained 49 coding sequences (CDSs), was integrated at the 3′ end of the chromosomalorfXgene, and was delimited at both ends by imperfect direct repeats functioning as integration site sequences (ISSs). SCCmecKM45013presented two discontinuous regions of homology (SCCmeccoverage of 35%) to the chromosomal and transposon Tn6045-associated SCCmec-like element ofM. caseolyticusJCSC7096: (i) themecgene complex (98.8% identity) and (ii) theccr-carrying segment (91.8% identity). Themecgene complex, located at the right junction of the cassette, also carried the β-lactamase geneblaZm(mecRm-mecIm-mecB-blaZm). SCCmecKM45013contained two cassette chromosome recombinase genes,ccrAm2andccrBm2, which shared 94.3% and 96.6% DNA identity with those of the SCCmec-like element of JCSC7096 but shared less than 52% DNA identity with the staphylococcalccrABandccrCgenes. Three distinct extrachromosomal circularized elements (the entire SCCmecKM45013, ΨSCCmecKM45013lacking theccrgenes, and SCCKM45013lackingmecB) flanked by one ISS copy, as well as the chromosomal regions remaining after excision, were detected. An unconventional circularized structure carrying themecBgene complex was associated with two extensive direct repeat regions, which enclosed two open reading frames (ORFs) (ORF46 and ORF51) flanking the chromosomalmecB-carrying gene complex. This study revealedM. caseolyticusas a potential disease-associated bacterium in dogs and also unveiled an SCCmecelement carryingmecBnot associated with Tn6045in the genusMacrococcus.

ABSTRACTWe characterized twoLactobacillus plantarumvirulent siphophages, ATCC 8014-B1 (B1) and ATCC 8014-B2 (B2), previously isolated from corn silage and anaerobic sewage sludge, respectively. Phage B2 infected two of the eightL. plantarumstrains tested, while phage B1 infected three. Phage adsorption was highly variable depending on the strain used. Phage defense systems were found in at least twoL. plantarumstrains, LMG9211 and WCSF1. The linear double-stranded DNA genome of thepac-type phage B1 had 38,002 bp, a G+C content of 47.6%, and 60 open reading frames (ORFs). Surprisingly, the phage B1 genome has 97% identity with that ofPediococcus damnosusphage clP1 and 77% identity with that ofL. plantarumphage JL-1; these phages were isolated from sewage and cucumber fermentation, respectively. The double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genome of thecos-type phage B2 had 80,618 bp, a G+C content of 36.9%, and 127 ORFs with similarities to those ofBacillusandLactobacillusstrains as well as phages. Some phage B2 genes were similar to ORFs fromL. plantarumphage LP65 of theMyoviridaefamily. Additionally, 6 tRNAs were found in the phage B2 genome. Protein analysis revealed 13 (phage B1) and 9 (phage B2) structural proteins. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing such high identity between phage genomes infecting different genera of lactic acid bacteria.

Here, we describe nearly complete genome sequences (7,361 nucleotides [nt] and 6,893 nt) of two echovirus 20 (E20) isolates from Nigeria that were simultaneously typed as CVB and E20 (dual serotype) by neutralization assay. Both include two overlapping open reading frames (ORFs) of 67 and 2,183 amino acids that encoded a recently described gut infection-facilitating protein and the classic enterovirus proteins, respectively.
