Names
Ca. Sulcia muelleri
Abstract
ABSTRACT Two bacterial symbionts of the European pest leafhopper, Macrosteles quadripunctulatus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), were fully sequenced. “ Candidatus Sulcia muelleri” and “ Ca . Nasuia deltocephalinicola” represent two of the smallest known bacterial genomes at 190 kb and 112 kb, respectively. Genome sequences are nearly identical to strains reported from the closely related host species,

Draft Genome Sequences of Two Novel Amoeba-Resistant Intranuclear Bacteria, “ Candidatus Berkiella cookevillensis” and “ Candidatus Berkiella aquae”

Abstract
ABSTRACT “ Candidatus Berkiella cookevillensis” and “ Candidatus Berkiella aquae” are obligate intranuclear endosymbionts of freshwater amoebae. Here, we present the draft genome sequences of these two bacteria, with total sizes of 2,990,361 bp and 3,626,027 bp, respectively.

Draft Genome Sequence of “ Candidatus Bacteroides periocalifornicus,” a New Member of the Bacteriodetes Phylum Found within the Oral Microbiome of Periodontitis Patients

Citation
McLean et al. (2015). Genome Announcements 3 (6)
Names
Ca. Bacteroides periocalifornicus
Abstract
ABSTRACT Here we present the draft genome of a distantly related member within the phylum Bacteriodetes , “ Candidatus Bacteroides periocalifornicus .” The draft genome sequence was assembled with metagenomic data from a patient with periodontitis. The closest relative has less than 68% average nucleic identity, supporting a novel family within Bacteriodetes .
