Draft Genome Sequence of “ Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” from California

Citation
Zheng et al. (2014). Genome Announcements 2 (5)
Names
Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus
Abstract
ABSTRACT We report here the draft genome sequence of “ Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” strain HHCA, collected from a lemon tree in California. The HHCA strain has a genome size of 1,150,620 bp, 36.5% G+C content, 1,119 predicted open reading frames, and 51 RNA genes.

Draft Genome Sequence of “ Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris” Strain OY-V, an Unculturable Plant-Pathogenic Bacterium

Citation
Kakizawa et al. (2014). Genome Announcements 2 (5)
Names
Ca. Phytoplasma asteris
Abstract
ABSTRACT Phytoplasmas are unculturable plant-pathogenic bacteria causing devastating damage to agricultural production worldwide. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of “ Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris” strain OY-V. Most of the known virulence factors and host-interacting proteins were conserved in OY-V. This genome furthers our understanding of genetic diversity and pathogenicity of phytoplasmas.

Complete Genome Sequence of the Endosymbiont of Acanthamoeba Strain UWC8, an Amoeba Endosymbiont Belonging to the “ Candidatus Midichloriaceae” Family in Rickettsiales

Citation
Wang et al. (2014). Genome Announcements 2 (4)
Names
“Midichloriaceae” Ca. Midichloriaceae
Abstract
ABSTRACT The endosymbiont of Acanthamoeba strain UWC8 is an obligate amoeba endosymbiont belonging to the family of “ Candidatus Midichloriaceae” in Rickettsiales. We report here the complete genome sequence of this bacterium, which should catalyze future studies of amoeba-symbiont interactions.

Draft Genome Sequence of the Endosymbiont “ Candidatus Ruthia magnifica” UCD-CM (Phylum Proteobacteria )

Citation
Lee et al. (2014). Genome Announcements 2 (4)
Names
Ca. Ruthia magnifica
Abstract
ABSTRACT Here, we present the draft genome of the endosymbiont “ Candidatus Ruthia magnifica” UCD-CM, a member of the phylum Proteobacteria , found from the gills of a deep-sea giant clam, Calyptogena magnifica . The assembly consists of 1,160,249 bp contained in 18 contigs.

Genome Sequence of “ Candidatus Arthromitus” sp. Strain SFB-Mouse-NL, a Commensal Bacterium with a Key Role in Postnatal Maturation of Gut Immune Functions

Citation
Bolotin et al. (2014). Genome Announcements 2 (4)
Names
Ca. Arthromitus
Abstract
ABSTRACT “ Candidatus Arthromitus” sp. strain SFB-mouse-NL (SFB, segmented filamentous bacteria) is a commensal bacterium necessary for inducing the postnatal maturation of homeostatic innate and adaptive immune responses in the mouse gut. Here, we report the genome sequence of this bacterium, which sets it apart from earlier sequenced mouse SFB isolates.

Names
Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus
Abstract
ABSTRACT The draft genome sequence of “ Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” strain A4, isolated from a mandarin citrus in Guangdong, People's Republic of China, is reported. The A4 strain has a genome size of 1,208,625 bp, G+C content of 36.4%, 1,107 predicted open reading frames, and 53 RNA genes.

Draft Genome Sequence of the Sulfolobales Archaeon AZ1, Obtained through Metagenomic Analysis of a Mexican Hot Spring

Citation
Servín-Garcidueñas, Martínez-Romero (2014). Genome Announcements 2 (2)
Names
“Aramenus sulfurataquae” “Aramenus”
Abstract
ABSTRACT The Sulfolobales archaea have been found inhabiting acidic hot springs all over the world. Here, we report the 1.798-Mbp draft genome sequence of the thermoacidophilic Sulfolobales archaeon AZ1, reconstructed from the metagenome of a Mexican hot spring. Sequence-based comparisons revealed that the Sulfolobales archaeon AZ1 represents a novel candidate genus.

Draft Genome Sequence of “ Candidatus Halobonum tyrrellensis” Strain G22, Isolated from the Hypersaline Waters of Lake Tyrrell, Australia

Citation
Ugalde et al. (2013). Genome Announcements 1 (6)
Names
Ca. Halobonum tyrrellensis
Abstract
ABSTRACT We report the draft 3.675-Mbp genome sequence of “ Candidatus Halobonum tyrrellensis” strain G22, a novel halophilic archaeon isolated from the surface hypersaline waters of Lake Tyrrell, Australia. The availability of the first genome from the “ Candidatus Halobonum” genus provides a new genomic resource for the comparative genomic analysis of halophilic Archaea .
