Draft Genome Sequence of “ Candidatus Bathyarchaeota” Archaeon BE326-BA-RLH, an Uncultured Denitrifier and Putative Anaerobic Methanotroph from South Africa’s Deep Continental Biosphere

Citation
Harris et al. (2018). Microbiology Resource Announcements 7 (20)
Names
“Bathyarchaeota”
Abstract
Metagenomic sequencing of fracture fluid from South Africa recovered a nearly complete “ Candidatus Bathyarchaeota” archaeon genome. The metagenome-assembled genome of BE326-BA-RLH contains genes involved in methane metabolism and dissimilatory nitrate reduction.

Draft Genome Sequence of “ Candidatus Moanabacter tarae,” Representing a Novel Marine Verrucomicrobial Lineage

Citation
Vosseberg et al. (2018). Microbiology Resource Announcements 7 (15)
Names
Ca. Moanabacter tarae
Abstract
The Tara Oceans Consortium has published various metagenomes of marine environmental samples. Here, we report a contig of 2.6 Mbp from the assembly of a sample collected near the Marquesas Islands in the Pacific Ocean, covering a nearly complete novel verrucomicrobial genome.

Genome Sequence of a Plant-Pathogenic Bacterium, “Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris” Strain TW1

Citation
Town et al. (2018). Microbiology Resource Announcements 7 (12)
Names
Ca. Phytoplasma asteris
Abstract
A draft genome sequence is presented for a strain of “ Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris” affecting canola plants in Saskatoon, Canada. This phytopathogenic bacterium was determined to be a 16SrI strain and features 16S rRNA-encoding gene sequence heterogeneity.
