Complete Genome Sequence of Strain JB001, a Member of Saccharibacteria Clade G6 (“ Candidatus Nanogingivalaceae”)

Citation
Baker (2021). Microbiology Resource Announcements 10 (23)
Names
“Nanogingivalaceae”
Abstract
At least 6 highly diverse clades of Saccharibacteria inhabit the human oral cavity. However, all oral Saccharibacteria strains with currently available complete genome sequences or cultured isolates belong to clade G1, leaving clades G2 through G6 poorly understood. Here, a complete genome sequence of JB001, a clade G6 (“ Candidatus Nanogingivalaceae”) Saccharibacteria strain, is reported.

Complete Genome Sequence of the Endosymbiotic Bacterium “ Candidatus Riesia pediculicola”

Citation
Park et al. (2021). Microbiology Resource Announcements 10 (18)
Names
Ca. Riesia pediculicola
Abstract
Human head and body lice host the obligate endosymbiotic bacterium “ Candidatus Riesia pediculicola.” In this announcement, we describe the complete genome sequence of a “ Ca. Riesia pediculicola” strain isolated from the human head louse, Pediculus humanus subsp. capitis . The inter- and intraspecific variations of endosymbiont genomes were investigated, and this strain was found to disp

Genome Sequence of “ Candidatus Dehalogenimonas etheniformans” Strain GP, a Vinyl Chloride-Respiring Anaerobe

Citation
Yang et al. (2020). Microbiology Resource Announcements 9 (50)
Names
Ca. Dehalogenimonas etheniformans
Abstract
“ Candidatus Dehalogenimonas etheniformans” strain GP couples growth with the reductive dechlorination of vinyl chloride and several polychlorinated ethenes. The genome sequence comprises a circular 2.07-Mb chromosome with a G+C content of 51.9% and harbors 50 putative reductive dehalogenase genes.

Draft Genome Sequence of a Filamentous Anoxygenic Phototrophic Bacterium, “ Candidatus Roseilinea sp. Strain NK_OTU-006,” Recovered from Metagenomic Data of a Hot Spring Microbial Mat

Citation
Martinez et al. (2020). Microbiology Resource Announcements 9 (50)
Names
“Roseilinea”
Abstract
We report here the metagenome-assembled draft genome of an uncultured filamentous anoxygenic phototroph of the phylum Chloroflexota (formerly Chloroflexi ), “ Candidatus Roseilinea sp. strain NK_OTU-006,” recovered from hot spring-associated microbial mats. The 3.6-Mb genome is estimated to be 94% complete and comprises 117 contigs encoding 3,203 predicted genes, including a full-length rRNA operon.

Draft Genome Sequence of a Novel “ Candidatus Liberibacter” Species Detected in a Zanthoxylum Species from Bhutan

Citation
Chambers et al. (2020). Microbiology Resource Announcements 9 (40)
Names
Liberibacter
Abstract
The draft genome sequence of a novel “ Candidatus Liberibacter” species detected in an unidentified species of Zanthoxylum (Rutaceae) collected in Bhutan is reported. The total length is 1,408,989 bp with 1,169 coding sequences in 96 contigs, a GC content of 37.3%, and 76 to 77% average nucleotide identity with several other “ Ca . Liberibacter” species.

Genome Analysis of “ Candidatus Regiella insecticola” Strain TUt, Facultative Bacterial Symbiont of the Pea Aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum

Citation
Nikoh et al. (2020). Microbiology Resource Announcements 9 (40)
Names
Ca. Regiella insecticola
Abstract
The genome of “ Candidatus Regiella insecticola” strain TUt, a facultative bacterial symbiont of the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum , was analyzed. We determined a 2.5-Mb draft genome consisting of 14 contigs; this will contribute to the understanding of the symbiont, which underpins various ecologically adaptive traits of the host insect.

Names
Ca. Phytoplasma asteris
Abstract
The complete genome sequence of “ Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris” RP166, which consists of one 829,546-bp circular chromosome, is presented in this work. This bacterium is associated with rapeseed phyllody disease in Poland and belongs to the 16SrI-B (i.e., aster yellows) group.

Complete Genome Sequence of “ Candidatus Syntrophocurvum alkaliphilum” Strain B(2M), Obtained from the Metagenome of a Salt-Tolerant Alkaliphilic Anaerobic Syntrophic Butyrate-Degrading Consortium

Citation

Names
Ca. Syntrophocurvum alkaliphilum
Abstract
A highly salt-tolerant and alkaliphilic syntrophic consortium that degrades butyrate under sulfate-reducing conditions was purified from a hypersaline soda lake in southwest Siberia. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of the syntrophic primary butyrate degrader in order to understand the molecular mechanisms of interaction between consortium members.
