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.

Draft Genome Sequence of “Candidatus Izimaplasma sp.” Strain ZiA1, Obtained from a Toluene-Degrading and Iron-Reducing Enrichment Culture

Citation
Kim et al. (2018). Microbiology Resource Announcements 7 (8)
Names
Ca. Izimaplasma
Abstract
Here, we report the draft genome sequence of “ Candidatus Izimaplasma sp.” strain ZiA1 (1.88 Mb and 29.6% G+C content).

Genome Sequence of the Soybean Cyst Nematode (Heterodera glycines) Endosymbiont “Candidatus Cardinium hertigii” Strain cHgTN10

Citation
Showmaker et al. (2018). Genome Announcements 6 (26)
Names
Ca. Cardinium hertigii
Abstract
In this study, we present the genome sequence of the “ Candidatus Cardinium hertigii” strain cHgTN10, an endosymbiotic bacterium of the plant-parasitic nematode Heterodera glycines . This is the first genome assembly reported for an endosymbiont directly sequenced from a tylenchid nematode.

Draft Whole-Genome Sequence of “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” Strain TX1712 from Citrus in Texas

Citation
Cai et al. (2018). Genome Announcements 6 (25)
Names
Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus
Abstract
The draft genome sequence of “ Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” strain TX1712, obtained from a Texas citrus tree, is reported here. Strain TX1712 has a draft genome size of 1,203,333 bp, a G+C content of 36.4%, 1,230 predicted open reading frames, and 41 RNAs and comprises 97.4% of the psy62 reference genome.

Studies of Microbiota Dynamics Reveals Association of “Candidatus Liberibacter Asiaticus” Infection with Citrus (Citrus sinensis) Decline in South of Iran

Citation
Passera et al. (2018). International Journal of Molecular Sciences 19 (6)
Names
Liberibacter
Abstract
Citrus Decline Disease was recently reported to affect several citrus species in Iran when grafted on a local rootstock variety, Bakraee. Preliminary studies found “Candidatus Phytoplasma aurantifoliae” and “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” as putative etiological agents, but were not ultimately able to determine which one, or if an association of both, were causing the disease. The current study has the aim of characterizing the microbiota of citrus plants that are either asymptomatic, showin
