Names
Hepatoplasma crinochetorum Ts
Abstract
ABSTRACT “ Candidatus Hepatoplasma crinochetorum” Ps is an extracellular symbiont residing in the hepatopancreas of the terrestrial isopod Porcellio scaber . Its genome is highly similar to that of the close relative “ Ca. Hepatoplasma crinochetorum” Av from Armadillidium vulgare . However, instead of a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-Cas system

Complete Genome Sequence of “ Candidatus Liberibacter africanus,” a Bacterium Associated with Citrus Huanglongbing

Citation

Names
Ca. Liberibacter africanus
Abstract
ABSTRACT We report here the complete genome sequence of “ Candidatus Liberibacter africanus” strain PTSAPSY. The 1,192,232-bp genome with 34.5% G+C content comprises 1,017 open reading frames, 44 tRNAs, and three complete rRNAs in a circular chromosome.

Complete Genome Sequences of Two Strains of “ Candidatus Filomicrobium marinum,” a Methanesulfonate-Degrading Species

Citation
Henriques, De Marco (2015). Genome Announcements 3 (3)
Names
Ca. Filomicrobium marinum
Abstract
ABSTRACT Two novel methanesulfonate-degrading bacterial strains of “ Candidatus Filomicrobium marinum” (strains Y and W) were isolated from a marine water enrichment, and their complete genome sequences are presented here. These are the first full genomes reported for the genus Filomicrobium and for methanesulfonate (MSA)-degrading bacteria.

Draft Genome Sequence of “Candidatus Methylacidiphilum kamchatkense” Strain Kam1, a Thermoacidophilic Methanotrophic Verrucomicrobium

Citation
Erikstad, Birkeland (2015). Genome Announcements 3 (2)
Names
Ca. Methylacidiphilum kamchatkense
Abstract
ABSTRACT “Candidatus Methylacidiphilum kamchatkense” strain Kam1 is an aerobic methane-oxidizing thermoacidophilic bacterium belonging to the Verrucomicrobia phylum. It was recovered from an acidic geothermal site in Uzon Caldera, Kamchatka, Russian Federation. Its genome possesses three complete pmoCAB gene clusters encoding particulate methane monooxygenase enzymes and a complete Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle for carbon assim

Draft Genome Sequence of an Anaerobic Ammonium-Oxidizing Bacterium, “ Candidatus Brocadia sinica”

Citation
Oshiki et al. (2015). Genome Announcements 3 (2)
Names
Ca. Brocadia sinica
Abstract
ABSTRACT A draft genome sequence of an anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacterium, “ Candidatus Brocadia sinica,” was determined by pyrosequencing and by screening a fosmid library. A 4.07-Mb genome sequence comprising 3 contigs was assembled, in which 3,912 gene-coding regions, 47 tRNAs, and a single rrn operon were annotated.

Whole-Genome Sequence of “Candidatus Rickettsia asemboensis” Strain NMRCii, Isolated from Fleas of Western Kenya

Citation

Names
Ca. Rickettsia asemboensis
Abstract
ABSTRACT Herein we present the draft genome sequence and annotation of “Candidatus Rickettsia asemboensis” strain NMRCii. “ Ca. Rickettsia asemboensis” is phylogenetically related to but distinct from the flea-borne spotted fever pathogen Rickettsia felis . “ Ca. Rickettsia asemboensis” was initially identified in and subsequently isolated from Ctenocephalides cat and dog fleas from Kenya.

Whole-Genome Sequence of “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” from a Huanglongbing-Affected Citrus Tree in Central Florida

Names
Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus
Abstract
ABSTRACT Here, we report the draft genome sequence of “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” strain FL17, isolated from a huanglongbing (HLB)-affected citrus tree in central Florida. The FL17 genome comprised 1,227,253 bp, with a G+C content of 36.5%, 1,175 predicted open reading frames, and 53 RNA genes.

Complete Genome Sequence of “Candidatus Sulcia muelleri” ML, an Obligate Nutritional Symbiont of Maize Leafhopper ( Dalbulus maidis )

Citation

Names
Ca. Sulcia muelleri
Abstract
ABSTRACT “Candidatus Sulcia muelleri” is a symbiont of sap-feeding insects in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha. The strain “ Ca . Sulcia muelleri” ML is associated with the maize leafhopper ( Dalbulus maidis ), collected in Brazil, which is a disease vector that affects corn production. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of this bacterium.
