Draft Genome Sequences of 142 Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis Strains Isolated from Naturally Infected Dairy Cattle

Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis is the etiological agent of Johne’s disease in ruminants. Here, we report the annotated draft genome sequences of 142 M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis strains that were isolated from dairy cattle in France between 2014 and 2018. The genomes of these strains were sequenced using Illumina technology.

Draft Genome Sequences of 13 Plant-Associated Actinobacteria of the Family Microbacteriaceae

ABSTRACT Draft genome sequences of 13 bacterial strains from the family Microbacteriaceae were generated using Illumina technology. The genome sizes varied from 3.0 to 4.8 Mb, and the DNA G+C content was 68.1 to 72.5%. The sequences obtained will contribute to the development of genome-based taxonomy and understanding of molecular interactions between bacteria and plants.

Draft Genome Sequences of Two Acidophilic, Mesophilic Verrucomicrobial Methanotrophs Contain Only One pmoCAB Operon

Methylacidimicrobium cyclopophantes 3B and Methylacidimicrobium tartarophylax 4AC are Gram-negative rod-shaped mesophilic methanotrophs isolated from soil samples with low pH at the Solfatara Crater, near Naples, Italy. The genomes of these extremophilic verrucomicrobia were sequenced using Illumina technology, and both species possess one pmoCAB operon and two xoxF genes.

Complete Genome Sequence of Mycolicibacterium hassiacum DSM 44199

Mycolicibacterium hassiacum is the most thermophilic of all the mycobacteria. A partial sequence based on Illumina technology of around 5 Mbp was published in 2012.

Draft Genome Sequences of New Isolates and the Known Species of the Family Microbacteriaceae Associated with Plants

Draft genome sequences of 11 bacteria belonging to the family Microbacteriaceae were obtained using Illumina technology. The genomes of these strains have sizes from 3.14 to 4.30 Mb with their genomic DNA characterized as having high G+C contents (above 65%).

Genome Sequences of Three Isolates of Fusarium verticillioides

Fusarium verticillioides is an important pathogen of maize worldwide. Here, three Australian isolates of F. verticillioides, originally obtained from maize or sorghum, were sequenced using Illumina technology to expand the available genomic resources for this important pathogen.

Complete Genome Sequences of Enterococcus rotai LMG 26678 T and Enterococcus silesiacus LMG 23085 T

The inclusion of molecular methods in the characterization of the novel species Enterococcus horridus necessitated the sequencing and assembly of the genomes of the closely related Enterococcus rotai and Enterococcus silesiacus . Sequencing using Illumina technology in combination with optical mapping led to the generation of closed genomes for both isolates.
