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.

Draft Genome Sequences of Three “ Candidatus Symbiopectobacterium” Isolates Collected from Potato Tubers Grown in New Zealand

Citation
Nunes Leite et al. (2023). Microbiology Resource Announcements 12 (3)
Names
Ca. Symbiopectobacterium
Abstract
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.

Draft Genome Sequence of a Washington Isolate of “ Candidatus Phytoplasma pruni”

Citation
Wright, Harper (2022). Microbiology Resource Announcements 11 (12)
Names
Ca. Phytoplasma pruni
Abstract
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.

Metagenome-Assembled Genomes for “ Candidatus Phormidium sp. Strain AB48” and Co-occurring Microorganisms from an Industrial Photobioreactor Environment

Citation
Noonan et al. (2022). Microbiology Resource Announcements 11 (12)
Names
Abstract
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.

Draft Genome Sequence of “ Candidatus Nardonella dryophthoridicola” Strain NARMHE1, Endosymbiont of Metamasius hemipterus (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Dryophthorinae)

Citation
Palmieri et al. (2022). Microbiology Resource Announcements 11 (11)
Names
“Nardonella dryophthoridicola”
Abstract
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.

Draft Genome Sequences of Nine “ Candidatus Nanosynbacter sp. HMT-352” Strains Cultured from the Human Oral Cavity

Citation
Liu et al. (2022). Microbiology Resource Announcements 11 (8)
Names
Ca. Nanosynbacter Ca. Saccharibacteria
Abstract
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.”

Complete Genome Sequence of “ Candidatus Nanosynbacter” Strain HMT-348_TM7c-JB, a Member of Saccharibacteria Clade G1

Citation
Baker (2022). Microbiology Resource Announcements 11 (5)
Names
Ca. Nanosynbacter
Abstract
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.

Genome Sequence of a New “ Candidatus ” Phylum “Dependentiae” Isolate from Chiba, Japan

Citation
Takemura (2022). Microbiology Resource Announcements 11 (2)
Names
“Babelota”
Abstract
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.”

Complete Genome Sequence of Human Oral Saccharibacterium “ Candidatus Nanosynbacter sp. HMT352” Strain KC1

Citation
Cross et al. (2022). Microbiology Resource Announcements 11 (2)
Names
Ca. Nanosynbacter
Abstract
“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.

Complete Genome Sequence of “ Candidatus Hydrogeosomobacter endosymbioticus,” an Intracellular Bacterial Symbiont of the Anaerobic Ciliate Scuticociliate GW7

Citation
Shiohama et al. (2022). Microbiology Resource Announcements 11 (2)
Names
Ca. Hydrogenosomobacter endosymbioticus
Abstract
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.
