Genome Sequence of “ Candidatus Carsonella ruddii” Strain BC, a Nutritional Endosymbiont of Bactericera cockerelli

Citation
Riley et al. (2017). Genome Announcements 5 (17)
Names
Ca. Carsonella ruddii
Abstract
ABSTRACT Here, we report the genome of “ Candidatus Carsonella ruddii” strain BC, a nutritional endosymbiont of the tomato psyllid Bactericera cockerelli . The 173,802-bp genome contains 198 protein-coding genes, with a G+C content of 14.8%.

Metatranscriptomics Supports the Mechanism for Biocathode Electroautotrophy by “ Candidatus Tenderia electrophaga”

Citation
Eddie et al. (2017). mSystems 2 (2)
Names
Tenderia electrophaga Ts
Abstract
Bacteria that directly use electrodes as metabolic electron donors (biocathodes) have been proposed for applications ranging from microbial electrosynthesis to advanced bioelectronics for cellular communication with machines. However, just as we understand very little about oxidation of analogous natural insoluble electron donors, such as iron oxide, the organisms and extracellular electron transfer (EET) pathways underlying the electrode-cell direct electron transfer processes are

Draft Whole-Genome Sequence of “ Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” Strain TX2351 Isolated from Asian Citrus Psyllids in Texas, USA

Citation
Kunta et al. (2017). Genome Announcements 5 (15)
Names
Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus
Abstract
ABSTRACT We report here the draft genome sequence of “ Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” strain TX2351, collected from Asian citrus psyllids in south Texas, USA. The TX2351 genome has a size of 1,252,043 bp, a G+C content of 36.5%, 1,184 predicted open reading frames, and 52 RNA genes.

Draft Genome Sequence of “ Candidatus Synechococcus spongiarum” m9, Binned from a Metagenome of South China Sea Sponge Theonella swinhoei

Citation
Liu et al. (2017). Genome Announcements 5 (6)
Names
Ca. Synechococcus spongiarum
Abstract
ABSTRACT “ Candidatus Synechococcus spongiarum” represents the widespread cyanobacterial symbionts found in marine sponges with relatively high genomic variability and likely important ecological roles. We present here the draft genome sequence of “ Candidatus Synechococcus spongiarum” m9, which was assembled from a metagenome of Theonella swinhoei sampled in the South China Sea.

Draft Genome Sequence of the Methane-Oxidizing Bacterium “ Candidatus Methylomonas sp. LWB” Isolated from Movile Cave

Citation
Stephenson et al. (2017). Genome Announcements 5 (3)
Names
Ca. Methylomonas
Abstract
ABSTRACT We describe the draft genome sequence of “ Candidatus Methylomonas sp. LWB” isolated from Movile Cave microbial mat samples. The genome contains both the soluble and particular methane monooxygenase; however, one of the putative particulate methane monooxygenase gene clusters is ordered pmoABC rather than in the canonical gene arrangement of pmoCAB .

Draft Genome Sequence of the Anaerobic Ammonium-Oxidizing Bacterium “ Candidatus Brocadia sp. 40”

Citation
Ali et al. (2016). Genome Announcements 4 (6)
Names
“Brocadia”
Abstract
ABSTRACT The anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacterium “ Candidatus Brocadia sp. 40” demonstrated the fastest growth rate compared to others in this taxon. Here, we report the 2.93-Mb draft genome sequence of this bacterium, which has 2,565 gene-coding regions, 41 tRNAs, and a single rrn operon.
