ABSTRACT Here, we report the draft genome sequences of nine bacterial isolates obtained after laboratory incubation of seawater, soil, and wastewater samples with polylactic acid, polyethylene, or polyethylene terephthalate film for 2 weeks. Assuming colonization as a prerequisite of degradation, these strains could contribute to a solution to the global plastic waste problem.

Here, we report the annotated draft genome sequences of three Pseudomonas spp. and two Bacillus spp. that, as consortia, degrade polyethylene terephthalate plastic. Improved microbial degradation of plastic waste could help reduce the billions of metric tons of these materials that currently exist in our environment.

ABSTRACT Phytoplankton often both provision and depend on heterotrophic bacteria. In order to investigate these relationships further, we sequenced draft genomes of three bacterial isolates from cultures of the marine diatom Thalassiosira rotula to identify metabolic functions that may support interactions with T. rotula.

ABSTRACT Neisseria meningitidis is a human-specific pathogen known for its capability to cause sepsis and meningitis. Here we report the availability of 2 draft genome sequences obtained from patients infected during the same epidemic outbreak. Both bacterial isolates belong to serogroup C, but their genome sequences show local and remarkable differences compared with each other or with the reference genome of strain FAM18.

The vagina is home to a wide variety of bacteria that have great potential to impact human health. Here, we announce reference strains (now available through BEI Resources) and draft genome sequences for 9 Gram-negative vaginal isolates from the taxaCitrobacter, Klebsiella, Fusobacterium, Proteus, andPrevotella.

Here, we report the genome sequences of three bacterial isolates that were cultured from aerosol samples collected at altitudes of 18 to 29 km above sea level. The isolates tolerate desiccation and shortwave UV radiation and are members of the actinobacterial genera Curtobacterium and Modestobacter and the betaproteobacterial genus Noviherbaspirillum .

ABSTRACT We report here the whole-genome sequencing results of two bacterial isolates, Aeromonas jandaei IMET J and Cloacibacterium normanense IMET F, that inhibit (possibly due to denitrifying gene clusters) and promote (possibly due to an ammonification system), respectively, the growth of the microalgal strains Scenedesmus HTB1 and Chlorella vulgaris 1807.

ABSTRACT The draft genome sequences of 29 bacterial isolates belonging to the family Bacillaceae were collected from the International Space Station, assembled, and identified. Further analysis of these sequences will enable us to understand their roles for space and biotechnological applications.

The chicken is the most common domesticated animal and the most abundant bird in the world. However, the chicken gut is home to many previously uncharacterized bacterial taxa. Here, we report draft genome sequences from six bacterial isolates from chicken ceca, all of which fall outside any named species.
