Names
“Accumulibacter”
Abstract
AbstractCandidatusAccumulibacter is a key genus of polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAOs) found in laboratory- and full-scale wastewater treatment systems, mediating enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR). However, little is known about their ability to resist phage infection. We conducted a systematic analysis of the occurrence and characteristics of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and associated proteins (CRISPR-Cas) systems and prophages in diverseCa.Accu

Draft Genome Sequence of a “ Candidatus Brocadia” Bacterium Enriched from Activated Sludge Collected in a Tropical Climate

Citation

Names
“Brocadia”
Abstract
ABSTRACT Here, we present the draft genome sequence of an anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing bacterium (AnAOB), “ Candidatus Brocadia,” which was enriched in an anammox reactor. A 3.2-Mb genome sequence comprising 168 contigs was assembled, in which 2,765 protein-coding genes, 47 tRNAs, and one each of 5S, 16S, and 23S rRNAs were annotated. No evidence for the presence of a nitric oxide-forming nitrite reductase was found.

Abstract
AbstractWe present the draft genome of an anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacterium, cluster III Candidatus Brocadia, which was enriched in an anammox reactor. A 3.2 Mb genome sequence comprising 168 contigs was assembled, in which 2,765 gene-coding regions, 47 tRNAs, and 5S, 16S and 23S ribosomal RNAs were annotated. No evidence for the presence of a nitric oxide-forming nitrite reductase was found.
