Abstract
ABSTRACT The phylum Gemmatimonadota comprises mainly uncultured microorganisms that inhabit different environments such as soils, freshwater lakes, marine sediments, sponges, or corals. Based on 16S rRNA gene studies, the group PAUC43f is one of the most frequently retrieved Gemmatimonadota in marine samples. However, its physiology and ecological roles are completely unknown since, to date, not a single PAUC43f isolate or me

Abstract
The complete genome sequence of “ Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris” QS2022, which consists of one 834,303-bp circular chromosome, is presented in this work. This bacterium is associated with lettuce chlorotic leaf rot disease in Fujian Province, China.

Phylogenetic analyses of Candidatus Branchiomonas cysticola refine the taxonomic classification of Betaproteobacteria associated with epitheliocystis in fish

Names
Ca. Branchiomonas cystocola Ca. Branchiomonas “Branchiomonaceae”
Abstract
AbstractCandidatus Branchiomonas cysticola is recognized as the most prevalent bacterial agent causing epitheliocystis in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Based on its partial 16S rRNA sequence, the bacterium has previously been found to be a member of Burkholderiales in the class Betaproteobacteria. Multilocus Sequence Analysis (MLSA) of the bacterium and 60 type strains of Betaproteobacteria using newly identified housekeeping genes (dnaK, rpoC, and fusA) and ribosomal subunit sequences (16S and

Spatial Distribution and Temporal Dynamics of Candidatus Liberibacter Asiaticus in Different Stages of Embryos, Nymphs and Adults of Diaphorina citri

Names
Liberibacter Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus
Abstract
Huanglongbing, a globally devastating citrus disease, is associated with Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) and is mainly transmitted by Diaphorina citri. Verification of the distribution and dynamics of CLas in D. citri is critical to understanding CLas transmitted by vectors in nature. Here, the distribution and titers of CLas in different sexes and tissues of D. citri adults were investigated by fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Results

Genome Sequence of a Clinical Isolate of the Human Pathogenic Strain “ Candidatus Borrelia fainii” Qtaro

Citation
Itokawa et al. (2023). Microbiology Resource Announcements 12 (5)
Names
“Borrelia fainii”
Abstract
We report sequences of the complete linear chromosome and five linear plasmids of the relapsing fever spirochete “ Candidatus Borrelia fainii” Qtaro. The chromosome sequence of 951,861 bp and the 243,291 bp of plasmid sequences were predicted to contain 852 and 239 protein-coding genes, respectively. The predicted total GC content was 28.4%.

Complete Genome of “ Candidatus Phytoplasma rubi” RS, a Phytopathogenic Bacterium Associated with Rubus Stunt Disease

Citation
Duckeck et al. (2023). Microbiology Resource Announcements 12 (5)
Names
Ca. Phytoplasma rubi
Abstract
The phytoplasma “ Candidatus Phytoplasma rubi” is associated with Rubus stunt disease. The complete genome was determined by assembling Oxford Nanopore Technologies system-derived long reads, with short-read polishing with Illumina reads. The genome of strain RS, from Germany, is organized in one circular chromosome with a length of 762 kb.

Metagenomic Discovery of “ Candidatus Parvarchaeales”-Related Lineages Sheds Light on Adaptation and Diversification from Neutral-Thermal to Acidic-Mesothermal Environments

Abstract
“ Candidatus Parvarchaeales” microbes may represent a lineage uniquely distributed in extreme environments such as AMD and hot springs. However, little is known about the strategies and processes of how they adapted to these extreme environments.
