Metagenome Assembly and Metagenome-Assembled Genome of “ Candidatus Aramenus sulfurataquae” from Thermal Sediments from the Los Azufres Volcanic Complex

Citation

Names
“Aramenus sulfurataquae”
Abstract
A plethora of hot springs are found at the Los Azufres volcanic complex in Mexico, and studies are needed to determine their microbial genomic diversity. Here, we report a metagenome of hot spring sediments and a metagenome-assembled genome of “ Candidatus Aramenus sulfurataquae.” This study reveals novel genomic sequences of Sulfolobales archaea.

Deciphering Symbiotic Interactions of “ Candidatus Aenigmarchaeota” with Inferred Horizontal Gene Transfers and Co-occurrence Networks

Citation
Li et al. (2021). mSystems 6 (4)
Names
Ca. Aenigmarchaeota
Abstract
Recent advances in sequencing technology promoted the blowout discovery of super tiny microbes in the Diapherotrites , Parvarchaeota , Aenigmarchaeota , Nanoarchaeota , and Nanohaloarchaeota (DPANN) superphylum. However, the unculturable properties of the majority of microbes impeded our investigation of their behavior and symbiotic lifestyle in the corresponding c

Comparative Genomics Reveals Thermal Adaptation and a High Metabolic Diversity in “ Candidatus Bathyarchaeia”

Citation
Qi et al. (2021). mSystems 6 (4)
Names
Bathyarchaeia
Abstract
Ca . Bathyarchaeia MAGs from terrestrial hot spring habitats are poorly revealed, though they have been studied extensively in marine ecosystems.

‘Candidatus Chloroploca mongolica’ sp. nov. a new mesophilic filamentous anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium

Citation
Bryantseva et al. (2021). FEMS Microbiology Letters 368 (16)
Names
Ca. Chloroploca mongolica “Chloroploca asiatica” Ca. Chloroploca
Abstract
ABSTRACT A mesophilic filamentous anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium, designated M50-1, was isolated from a microbial mat of the Chukhyn Nur soda lake (northeastern Mongolia) with salinity of 5−14 g/L and pH 8.0−9.3. The organism is a strictly anaerobic phototrophic bacterium, which required sulfide for phototrophic growth. The cells formed short undulate trichomes surrounded by a thin sheath and containing gas vesicles. Motility of the trichomes was not observed. The cells contain

Complete Genome Sequence of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Endocytobiont “ Candidatus Nardonella dryophthoridicola” Strain NardRF

Citation
Chouaia et al. (2021). Microbiology Resource Announcements 10 (26)
Names
“Nardonella dryophthoridicola”
Abstract
We report the complete genome sequence and annotation of “ Candidatus Nardonella dryophthoridicola” strain NardRF, obtained by sequencing its host bacteriome, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus , using Oxford Nanopore technology.

Spatiotemporal and Quantitative Monitoring of the Fate of ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma Solani’ in Tomato Plants Infected by Grafting

Citation
Carminati et al. (2021). Pathogens 10 (7)
Names
Ca. Phytoplasma
Abstract
Understanding how phytoplasmas move and multiply within the host plant is fundamental for plant–pathogen interaction studies. In recent years, the tomato has been used as a model plant to study this type of interaction. In the present work, we investigated the distribution and multiplication dynamics of one strain of ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma (Ca. P.) solani’ (16SrXII-A) in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L., cv. Micro-Tom) plants. We obtained infected plants by grafting, a fast and effective method

Complete Genome Sequence of Strain JB001, a Member of Saccharibacteria Clade G6 (“ Candidatus Nanogingivalaceae”)

Citation
Baker (2021). Microbiology Resource Announcements 10 (23)
Names
“Nanogingivalaceae”
Abstract
At least 6 highly diverse clades of Saccharibacteria inhabit the human oral cavity. However, all oral Saccharibacteria strains with currently available complete genome sequences or cultured isolates belong to clade G1, leaving clades G2 through G6 poorly understood. Here, a complete genome sequence of JB001, a clade G6 (“ Candidatus Nanogingivalaceae”) Saccharibacteria strain, is reported.

Molecular Detection of Novel Borrelia Species, Candidatus Borrelia javanense, in Amblyomma javanense Ticks from Pangolins

Citation
Jiang et al. (2021). Pathogens 10 (6)
Names
Ca. Borrelia javanense
Abstract
A novel Borrelia species, Candidatus Borrelia javanense, was found in ectoparasite ticks, Amblyomma javanense, from Manis javanica pangolins seized in anti-smuggling operations in southern China. Overall, 12 tick samples in 227 (overall prevalence 5.3%) were positive for Candidatus B. javanense, 9 (5.1%) in 176 males, and 3 (5.9%) in 51 females. The phylogenetic analysis, based on the 16S rRNA gene and the flagellin gene sequences of the Borrelia sp., exhibited strong evidence that Candidatus B.
