The draft genome sequences of three “
Candidatus
Symbiopectobacterium” isolates that were collected from New Zealand-grown potato tubers represent the first report of this proposed taxon in the Southern Hemisphere. Their symbiosis with insects and nematodes and their presence on plants may lead to new strategies for pest control and crop management.
Illumina sequencing of a
Prunus avium
tree with X-disease symptoms was performed to obtain a draft genome of “
Candidatus
Phytoplasma pruni.” The genome consists of 14 contigs covering 588,767 bp. This is the first metagenome to be sequenced from the current X-disease epidemic in stone fruit in the Pacific Northwest.
Here, we report metagenome-assembled genomes for “
Candidatus
Phormidium sp. strain AB48” and three cooccurring microorganisms from a biofilm-forming industrial photobioreactor environment, using the PacBio sequencing platform. Several mobile genetic elements, including a double-stranded DNA phage and plasmids, were also recovered, with the potential to mediate gene transfer within the biofilm community.
Here, we report the draft genome and annotation of “
Candidatus
Nardonella dryophthoridicola” strain NARMHE1, obtained via Oxford Nanopore sequencing of the ovaries of its host, the weevil
Metamasius hemipterus
, from a population from southeast Brazil.
Here, we report draft genome sequences for nine strains of “
Candidatus
Nanosynbacter sp. HMT-352.” These strains and their sequences were used to interrogate strain-level variations in host range, gene content, and growth dynamics among the phylum “
Candidatus
Saccharibacteria.”
Saccharibacteria
are abundant and diverse members of the human oral microbiome; however, they are poorly understood and appear to exhibit an epibiont/parasitic lifestyle dependent on host bacteria. Here, a complete metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) sequence of an organism from
Saccharibacteria
clade G1 human microbial taxon (HMT) 348 is reported, strain HMT-348_TM7c-JB.
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.”
“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.
The bacterium “
Candidatus
Hydrogenosomobacter endosymbioticus” is an intracellular symbiont of anaerobic scuticociliate GW7, which is associated with hydrogenosome together with methanogenic archaea. Here, we report a complete genome sequence of the symbiont consisting of 827 kbp. Knowing this sequence would contribute to the understanding of the metabolic interactions and evolution of the tripartite symbiosis.
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.
