ABSTRACT Here, we present the draft genome of the endosymbiont “ Candidatus Ruthia magnifica” UCD-CM, a member of the phylum Proteobacteria , found from the gills of a deep-sea giant clam, Calyptogena magnifica . The assembly consists of 1,160,249 bp contained in 18 contigs.

ABSTRACT Members of the Cronobacter genus are associated with serious infections in neonates. This is the first report of the draft genome sequence for the newly proposed species Cronobacter colletis .

ABSTRACT The draft genome sequence of “ Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” strain A4, isolated from a mandarin citrus in Guangdong, People's Republic of China, is reported. The A4 strain has a genome size of 1,208,625 bp, G+C content of 36.4%, 1,107 predicted open reading frames, and 53 RNA genes.

ABSTRACT The Sulfolobales archaea have been found inhabiting acidic hot springs all over the world. Here, we report the 1.798-Mbp draft genome sequence of the thermoacidophilic Sulfolobales archaeon AZ1, reconstructed from the metagenome of a Mexican hot spring. Sequence-based comparisons revealed that the Sulfolobales archaeon AZ1 represents a novel candidate genus.
