Streptomyces strains are bacteria that are well known for their distinctive physiology, behaviors, and ecology, as well as for being prodigious producers of diverse antibiotics. Here, we report draft genome sequences for eight Streptomyces strains that were isolated from multiple sky islands in Arizona and sequenced using an Oxford Nanopore Technologies Flongle adapter and MinION system.

ABSTRACT Whole-genome sequencing and annotation have allowed planetary protection engineers to assess the functional capabilities of microorganisms isolated from spacecraft hardware and associated surfaces. Here, we report draft genomes of six strains isolated from the InSight mission, determined using Oxford Nanopore- and Illumina-based sequencing.

Dickeya and Pectobacterium pathogens are causative agents of several diseases that affect many crops worldwide. This work investigated the species diversity of these pathogens in Morocco, where Dickeya pathogens have only been isolated from potato fields recently. To this end, samplings were conducted in three major potato growing areas over a three-year period (2015–2017). Pathogens were characterized by sequence determination of both the gapA gene marker and genomes using Illumina and Oxford Nanopore technologies. We isolated 119 pathogens belonging to P. versatile (19%), P. carotovorum (3%), P. polaris (5%), P. brasiliense (56%) and D. dianthicola (17%). Their taxonomic assignation was confirmed by draft genome analyses of 10 representative strains of the collected species. D. dianthicola were isolated from a unique area where a wide species diversity of pectinolytic pathogens was observed. In tuber rotting assays, D. dianthicola isolates were more aggressive than Pectobacterium isolates. The complete genome sequence of D. dianthicola LAR.16.03.LID was obtained and compared with other D. dianthicola genomes from public databases. Overall, this study highlighted the ecological context from which some Dickeya and Pectobacterium species emerged in Morocco, and reported the first complete genome of a D. dianthicola strain isolated in Morocco that will be suitable for further epidemiological studies.

Oryza coarctata plants, collected from Sundarban delta of West Bengal, India, have been used in the present study to generate draft genome sequences, employing the hybrid genome assembly with Illumina reads and third generation Oxford Nanopore sequencing technology. We report for the first time that more than 85.71 % of the genome coverage and the data have been deposited in NCBI SRA, with BioProject ID PRJNA396417.

ABSTRACT Complete and draft genome sequences of 12 Rathayibacter strains were generated using Oxford Nanopore and Illumina technologies. The genome sizes of these strains are 3.21 to 4.61 Mb, with high G+C content (67.2% to 72.7%) genomic DNA. Genomic data will provide useful baseline information for natural taxonomy and comparative genomics of members of the genus Rathayibacter.

Abstract Background: Dickeya and Pectobacterium are pectinolytic pathogens that cause damage to many plants including major crops. Emergence of D. solani and re-emergence D. dianthicola were recently observed in potato fields in several continents. The purpose of this work was to describe the species diversity of Dickeya and Pectobacterium collected from potato fields in Northern Morocco, where Dickeya potato pathogens have not been isolated until recently. Results: Along three years, 119 pathogens belonging to Pectobacterium and Dickeya genera were isolated from three potato culture areas and characterized using selective PCR and gapA gene sequencing. Out of them, 19% belonged to P. versatile, 3% to P. carotovorum, 5% to P. polaris, 56% to P. brasiliense, while 17% to D. dianthicola. The taxonomic assignations were confirmed by draft genome analyses of representative isolates belonging to the collected species. D. dianthicola were isolated from a unique area where a wide species diversity of pectinolytic pathogens was also observed. In potato maceration assay, D. dianthicola isolates were more aggressive than Pectobacterium isolates, a feature that should alert stakeholders of a potential threat linked to the emergence of D. dianthicola in this country. By combining Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) and Illumina technologies, the sequence of the complete genome of D. dianthicola LAR.16.03.LID was obtained. A unique circular chromosome of 4,976,211 bp codes for 4,223 predicted proteins. Comparison of the three complete genomes of D. dianthicola strains RNS049, ME23 and LAR.16.03.LID revealed a highly conserved synteny and the occurrence of strain-specific regions associated with the presence of mobile elements. Conclusion: By combining population sampling and genomics, this study highlighted the ecological context from which D. dianthicola emerged in Morocco. Furthermore, the first complete genome of a D. dianthicola strain isolated in Northern Morocco will constitute a reference genome for investigating the dynamics of the emerging D. dianthicola pathogens in this country.

The draft genome of pandrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain SPA03, which belongs to global high-risk sequence type 357 (ST357) and was isolated from a patient with benign prostatic hyperplasia, is presented in this report. The genome assembly was generated by combining short-read Illumina HiSeq-X Ten and long-read Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinION sequence data using the Unicycler assembler.
