ABSTRACT “Medusaviridae” is a proposed family of large double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses so far represented by a sole virus isolated from a hot spring. In the present study, we report the isolation and genome sequencing of a second member of this family, medusavirus stheno, discovered from a freshwater sample with an Acanthamoeba castellanii coculture.

ABSTRACT We report a draft genome sequence of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi isolated from a returned traveler from Pakistan who developed sepsis. Whole-genome sequencing revealed relatedness to a previously reported outbreak in Pakistan and identified the blaCTX-M-15 and qnrS resistance genes.

ABSTRACT A draft genome of a novel Dictyoglomus sp., NZ13-RE01, was obtained from a New Zealand hot spring enrichment culture. The 1,927,012-bp genome is similar in both size and G+C content to other Dictyoglomus spp. Like its relatives, Dictyoglomus sp. NZ13-RE01 encodes many genes involved in complex carbohydrate metabolism.

ABSTRACT Here, we report the draft genome sequence of a Clostridium sp. strain isolated from a fecal sample of a 34-year-old adult male in Taiwan. This strain may represent a new bacterium, as suggested by a comparison based on whole-genome sequencing. The genome assembly comprised 6,089,737 bp, with a 45.63% G+C content.

ABSTRACT Pannonibacter indicus strain HT23T, a highly arsenate-tolerant bacterium, was isolated from a tropical hot spring. The estimated genome is 4.2 Mb with 3,818 protein-coding sequences containing putative genes, some of which are involved in arsenate resistance.

ABSTRACT “Pandoraviridae” is a proposed family of the phylum Nucleocytoviricota. Its features include an amphora-shaped capsid and the largest genome among all viruses. We report the isolation and genome sequencing of a new member of this family, named Pandoravirus japonicus, the third strain discovered in Japan.

Sicyoidochytrium minutum DNA virus strain 001 (SmDNAV 001) is a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) virus that infects the marine fungoid protist Sicyoidochytrium minutum . We report the draft genome sequence of SmDNAV 001. The 236,345-bp genome contained 358 coding sequences (CDSs) and three tRNA-coding sequences.

ABSTRACT Aeromonas lusitana sp. nov. is an isolate derived from a study aimed at characterizing Aeromonas spp. from water sources used for recreation and agricultural purposes and assessing the implications these organisms have for human and animal health. We present here the 4.52-Mbp draft genome sequence of this novel species.
