ABSTRACT Here, we report the complete genome sequence of the tetrachloroethene-to-trichloroethene dechlorinator Sulfurospirillum sp. strain ACSTCE. The genome consists of a 38.05-kb circular plasmid and a 2.69-Mb circular chromosome, which encodes 3 identical reductive dehalogenases with 91.47% amino acid identity to the PceA of Sulfurospirillum multivorans strain DSM 12446.

Serratia marcescens is a Gram-negative nosocomial pathogen causing various hospital-acquired infections. Here, we describe the complete genome sequence of S. marcescens myophage Moabite. The genome of Moabite is 273,933 bp long, with 337 predicted coding sequences and two tRNA genes, and it shares its highest amino acid identity with Serratia phage 2050HW.

ABSTRACT Here, we report the complete genome sequence of strain LK-151 of Leuconostoc mesenteroides, which was isolated from a Japanese sake cellar and has the potential to produce large amounts of d-amino acids, namely, d-Ala and d-Glu. The genome contains 4 genes related to d-amino acid production.

Virus-like disease symptoms consisting of leaf cupping, shortened internodes, and overall stunting were observed in commercial cotton fields in Alabama in 2017 to 2018. To determine the complete genome sequence of the suspected causal polerovirus, symptomatic leaf samples were collected in Macon County, Alabama, and subjected to Illumina RNA sequencing. Based on BLASTn analysis, the Illumina contig of 5,771 nt shared the highest nucleotide identity (approximately 95%) with members of the species Cotton leafroll dwarf virus (CLRDV) (genus Polerovirus; family Luteoviridae) from Argentina and Brazil. The full-length viral genome sequence was verified by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR amplification, cloning, and Sanger sequencing. The complete CLRDV genome of 5,865 nt in length shared 94.8 to 95.2% nucleotide identity with six previously reported CLRDV isolates. The genome of the CLRDV isolate amplified from Alabama samples (CLRDV-AL) has seven predicted open reading frames (ORFs). Viral proteins 1 to 5 (P1 to P5) shared 91.9 to 99.5% amino acid identity with the six CLRDV isolates from Argentina and Brazil. However, P0, the suppressor of host gene silencing, shared 82.4 to 88.5% pairwise amino acid identity with the latter CLRDV isolates. Phylogenetic analysis of the seven full-length CLRDV genomes resolved three sister clades: CLRDV-AL, CLRDV-typical, and CLRDV-atypical, respectively. Three recombination events were detected by the recombination detection program among the seven CLRDV isolates with breakpoints occurring along the genome. Pairwise nucleotide identity comparisons of ORF0 sequences for the three CLRDV-AL field isolates indicated that they were >99% identical, suggesting that this previously unknown CLRDV genotype represents a single introduction to Alabama.

ABSTRACT A novel putative single-stranded RNA virus was discovered from the transcriptome of a bean bug, Riptortus pedestris, infected with the entomopathogenic fungus Beaveria bassiana JEF-007. The complete genome sequence was 9,915 nucleotides long and encoded a 2,916-amino-acid polyprotein. This virus belonged to Iflaviridae based on phylogenetic analysis and was named RiPV-2.

ABSTRACT We report the draft genome sequence of a novel member of the order Picornavirales that was obtained from the gills of farmed Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica). A putative polyprotein encoded by the genome was similar to that of other picornaviruses and shared 31% amino acid identity with that of eel picornavirus 1.

Purple passion fruit (Passiflora edulis f. edulis), also known as gulupa, is a vine plant of the familiy Passifloraceae, which in recent years has gained importance in the world fruit market due to its exotic nature and excellent organoleptic properties. Although the demand for gulupa in Colombia has increased significantly to become one of the most important fruit exports, the cultivated area has been in decline since 2009 due to the impact of plant diseases. Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), soybean mosaic virus (SMV) and cowpea aphid borne mosaic virus (CABMV) are amongst the main viruses found infecting gulupa in Colombia. To further characterize the virome of gulupa, a deep sequencing transcriptome study was performed from a producing region in eastern Antioquia. Based on the results of next-generation sequencing (NGS), we report the genome sequence of a tymovirus infecting this plant. Phylogenetic analysis revealed this virus to be a close relative of Passion fruit yellow mosaic virus (PFYMV), Cassia yellow mosaic-associated virus (CYMaV) and Calopogonium yellow vein virus (CYVV). To date, only a 1115 nt segment comprising the RdRP-CP region of PFYMV has been reported; this sequence shares 84.79% and 95.24% identities at the nucleotide and amino acid levels with the purple passionfruit tymovirus suggesting that the detected virus is a PFYMV isolate (PFYMV_Antioquia). Finally, RT-qPCR and Sanger sequencing using specific primers confirmed the presence of PFYMV in different purple passionfruit crops in Antioquia. This is the first complete genome sequence of a PFYMV isolate reported in the world.
