Complete Genome Sequence of Human Oral Saccharibacterium “ Candidatus Nanosynbacter sp. HMT352” Strain KC1

Citation
Cross et al. (2022). Microbiology Resource Announcements 11 (2)
Names
Ca. Nanosynbacter
Abstract
“Cand. Nanosynbacter sp. HMT352” strain KC1 is an ectoparasitic saccharibacterium/TM7 that was co-isolated from a human saliva sample with its obligate bacterial host, Schaalia odontolytica . The genome of strain KC1 enables studies of the mechanisms and evolution of interspecies interactions and, for oral species, studies of their potential roles in health and disease.

Genome Sequence of a New “ Candidatus ” Phylum “Dependentiae” Isolate from Chiba, Japan

Citation
Takemura (2022). Microbiology Resource Announcements 11 (2)
Names
“Babelota”
Abstract
Little is known about the bacterial phylum “ Candidatus Dependentiae,” because only three isolates have been reported. Here, I report the isolation and genome sequencing of a new member of this phylum, strain Noda2021. This is the fourth strain isolated from the phylum “ Candidatus Dependentiae.”

Candidatus Thiovulum sp. strain imperiosus: the largest free-living Epsilonproteobacteraeota Thiovulum strain lives in a marine mangrove environment

Citation
Sylvestre et al. (2022). Canadian Journal of Microbiology 68 (1)
Names
Ca. Thiovulum imperiosus
Abstract
A large (47.75 ± 3.56 µm in diameter) Thiovulum bacterial strain forming white veils is described from a marine mangrove ecosystem. High sulfide concentrations (up to 8 mM of H2S) were measured on sunken organic matter (wood/bone debris) under laboratory conditions. This sulfur-oxidizing bacterium colonized the organic matter, forming a white veil. According to conventional scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations, bacterial cells are ovoid and slightly motile by numerous small flagella

Survey for ‘Candidatus Liberibacter’ and ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma’ in Citrus in Chile

Citation
Quiroga et al. (2021). Pathogens 11 (1)
Names
Liberibacter Ca. Phytoplasma
Abstract
The considerable economic losses in citrus associated with ‘Candidatus Liberibacter’ and ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma’ presence have alerted all producing regions of the world. In Chile, none of these bacteria have been reported in citrus species. During the years 2017 and 2019, 258 samples presenting symptoms similar to those associated with the presence of these bacteria were examined. No detection of ‘Ca. Liberibacter’ associated with “huanglongbing” disease was obtained in the tested samples; the

Discovery of an Antarctic Ascidian-Associated Uncultivated Verrucomicrobia with Antimelanoma Palmerolide Biosynthetic Potential

Citation
Murray et al. (2021). mSphere 6 (6)
Names
“Synoicihabitans palmerolidicus”
Abstract
Palmerolide A has potential as a chemotherapeutic agent to target melanoma. We interrogated the microbiome of the Antarctic ascidian, Synoicum adareanum , using a cultivation-independent high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatic strategy.

Molecular signatures between citrus and Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus

Citation
Hu et al. (2021). PLOS Pathogens 17 (12)
Names
Liberibacter Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus
Abstract
Citrus Huanglongbing (HLB), also known as citrus greening, is one of the most devastating citrus diseases worldwide. Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) is the most prevalent strain associated with HLB, which is yet to be cultured in vitro. None of the commercial citrus cultivars are resistant to HLB. The pathosystem of Ca. Liberibacter is complex and remains a mystery. In this review, we focus on the recent progress in genomic research on the pathogen, the interaction of host and CLas, and

Full Genome Sequence of a Methanomassiliicoccales Representative Enriched from Peat Soil

Citation
Weil et al. (2021). Microbiology Resource Announcements 10 (48)
Names
Methanogranum gryphiswaldense Ts
Abstract
The full genome of a Methanomassiliicoccales strain, U3.2.1, was obtained from enrichment cultures of percolation fen peat soil under methanogenic conditions, with methanol and hydrogen as the electron acceptor and donor, respectively. Metagenomic assembly of combined long-read and short-read sequences resulted in a 1.51-Mbp circular genome.

Application of TaqMan Real-Time PCR for Detecting ‘Candidatus Arsenophonus Phytopathogenicus’ Infection in Sugar Beet

Citation
Zübert, Kube (2021). Pathogens 10 (11)
Names
Arsenophonus Ca. Arsenophonus phytopathogenicus
Abstract
The γ-proteobacterium ‘Candidatus Arsenophonus phytopathogenicus’ is assigned as the major pathogen of “Syndrome des basses richesses”, a sugar beet disease characterised by a reduction in the sugar content of taproots and biomass yield. Despite the economic impact of this bacteriosis, diagnostics for this important pathogen currently rely on end-point PCR detection. Herein, we introduce a TaqMan qPCR for diagnostics of the agent targeting genes encoding a heat shock protein of the Hsp20 family

Draft Genome Sequence of Schaalia odontolytica Strain ORNL0103, a Basibiont of “ Candidatus Saccharibacteria” HMT352

Citation
Podar et al. (2021). Microbiology Resource Announcements 10 (44)
Names
Ca. Saccharibacteria
Abstract
Here, we report the draft, nearly complete genome sequence of the human oral actinobacterium Schaalia odontolytica strain ORNL0103, which was isolated in association with “ Candidatus Saccharibacteria” HMT352 strain ORNL0105. The genome was sequenced using a combination of Pacific Biosciences and Illumina platforms and encodes 1,948 proteins and 60 RNAs.
