Draft Genome Sequence of an Ammonia-Oxidizing Archaeon, “Candidatus Nitrosopumilus sediminis” AR2, from Svalbard in the Arctic Circle

Citation

Names
Ca. Nitrosopumilus sediminis
Abstract
ABSTRACT Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) typically predominate over ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in marine sediments. We herein present the draft genome sequence of an ammonia-oxidizing archaeon, “ Candidatus Nitrosopumilus sediminis” AR2, which was enriched in culture from a marine sediment obtained off Svalbard, within the Arctic Circle. The typical genes involved in archaeal ammonia oxidation and carbon fixation necessary for chemolithoautotrophic

Draft Genome Sequence of an Ammonia-Oxidizing Archaeon, “Candidatus Nitrosopumilus koreensis” AR1, from Marine Sediment

Citation

Names
Ca. Nitrosopumilus koreensis
Abstract
ABSTRACT Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) are ubiquitous in various marine environments and play important roles in the global nitrogen and carbon cycles. We here present a high-quality draft genome sequence of an ammonia-oxidizing archaeon, “ Candidatus Nitrosopumilus koreensis” AR1, which was found to dominate an ammonia-oxidizing enrichment culture in marine sediment off Svalbard, the Arctic Circle. Despite a significant number of nonoverlapping g

Genome Sequence of “Candidatus Methanomethylophilus alvus” Mx1201, a Methanogenic Archaeon from the Human Gut Belonging to a Seventh Order of Methanogens

Citation
Borrel et al. (2012). Journal of Bacteriology 194 (24)
Names
“Methanomethylophilus alvi”
Abstract
ABSTRACT We report the draft genome sequence of “ Candidatus Methanomethylophilus alvus” Mx1201, a methanogen present in the human gut. It was enriched from human feces under anaerobic conditions with methanol as the substrate. Its circular genome, of around 1.7 Mb, contains genes needed for methylotrophic methanogenesis from methanol and tri-, di-, and monomethylamine.

Genome streamlining and chemical defense in a coral reef symbiosis

“Endolissoclinum faulkneri”
Abstract
Secondary metabolites are ubiquitous in bacteria, but by definition, they are thought to be nonessential. Highly toxic secondary metabolites such as patellazoles have been isolated from marine tunicates, where their exceptional potency and abundance implies a role in chemical defense, but their biological source is unknown. Here, we describe the association of the tunicate Lissoclinum patella with a symbiotic α-proteobacterium, Candidatus

‘Candidatus Phytoplasma convolvuli’, a new phytoplasma taxon associated with bindweed yellows in four European countries

Names
Ca. Phytoplasma convolvuli
Abstract
Plants of Convolvulus arvensis exhibiting symptoms of undersized leaves, shoot proliferation and yellowing, collectively defined as bindweed yellows, were sampled in different regions of Europe and assessed for phytoplasma infection by PCR amplification using phytoplasma universal rRNA operon primer pairs. Positive results were obtained for all diseased plants. RFLP analysis of amplicons comprising the16S rRNA gene alone or the16S rRNA gene and 16-23S intergenic spacer region indicated that the
