Draft Genome Sequence of “Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa,” an Endosymbiont of the Whitefly Bemisia tabaci

Citation
Rao et al. (2012). Journal of Bacteriology 194 (13)
Names
Ca. Hamiltonella defensa
Abstract
ABSTRACT “ Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa” is a facultative endosymbiont of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci . Herein, we report the first draft genome sequence of “ Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa” from the invasive Mediterranean cryptic species of the B. tabaci complex. The 1.84-Mbp genome sequence comprises 404 contigs and contains 1,806 predicted protein-coding genes.

Genome Sequence of “Candidatus Aquiluna” sp. Strain IMCC13023, a Marine Member of the Actinobacteria Isolated from an Arctic Fjord

Citation
Kang et al. (2012). Journal of Bacteriology 194 (13)
Names
Aquiluna “Aquiluna rubra”
Abstract
ABSTRACT We report the genome sequence of actinobacterial strain IMCC13023, isolated from arctic fjord seawater. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene showed that the strain is related to “ Candidatus Aquiluna rubra.” The genome information suggests that strain IMCC13023 is a photoheterotroph carrying actinorhodopsin, with the smallest genome ever reported for a free-living member of the Actinobacteria .

Genome Sequence of “ Candidatus Nitrosopumilus salaria” BD31, an Ammonia-Oxidizing Archaeon from the San Francisco Bay Estuary

Citation
Mosier et al. (2012). Journal of Bacteriology 194 (8)
Names
Ca. Nitrosopumilus salaria
Abstract
ABSTRACT Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) play important roles in nitrogen and carbon cycling in marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Here, we present the draft genome sequence for the ammonia-oxidizing archaeon “ Candidatus Nitrosopumilus salaria” BD31, which was enriched in culture from sediments of the San Francisco Bay estuary. The genome sequences revealed many similarities to the genome of Nitrosopumilus maritimus .

Genome Sequence of “ Candidatus Nitrosoarchaeum limnia” BG20, a Low-Salinity Ammonia-Oxidizing Archaeon from the San Francisco Bay Estuary

Citation
Mosier et al. (2012). Journal of Bacteriology 194 (8)
Names
Ca. Nitrosoarchaeum limnia
Abstract
ABSTRACT Here, we present the draft genome sequence of “ Candidatus Nitrosoarchaeum limnia” BG20, an ammonia-oxidizing archaeon enriched in culture from low-salinity sediments of the San Francisco Bay estuary. The genome sequence revealed many similarities to the previously sequenced genome of “ Ca. Nitrosoarchaeum limnia” SFB1 (enriched from a nearby site in San Francisco Bay) and is representative of a clade of ammonia-oxid

Genome Sequence for “Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum,” a Low-Pathogenicity Hemoplasma Species

Citation
Barker et al. (2012). Journal of Bacteriology 194 (4)
Names
Ca. Mycoplasma haemominutum
Abstract
ABSTRACT We present the genome sequence of “ Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum” strain Birmingham 1, a low-pathogenicity feline hemoplasma strain.
