Draft Genome Sequence of the Sulfur-Oxidizing Bacterium “Candidatus Sulfurovum sediminum” AR, Which Belongs to the Epsilonproteobacteria

Citation
Park et al. (2012). Journal of Bacteriology 194 (15)
Names
Ca. Sulfurovum sediminum
Abstract
ABSTRACT Sulfur-oxidizing bacteria are common microorganisms in a variety of sulfide-rich environments. They play important roles in the global sulfur cycle on earth. Here, we present a high-quality draft genome sequence of a sulfur-oxidizing bacterium, “ Candidatus Sulfurovum sediminum” strain AR, which belongs to the class Epsilonproteobacteria and dominated an enrichment culture from a marine sediment collected off Svalbar

Draft Genome Sequence of “Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa,” an Endosymbiont of the Whitefly Bemisia tabaci

Citation
Rao et al. (2012). Journal of Bacteriology 194 (13)
Names
Ca. Hamiltonella defensa
Abstract
ABSTRACT “ Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa” is a facultative endosymbiont of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci . Herein, we report the first draft genome sequence of “ Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa” from the invasive Mediterranean cryptic species of the B. tabaci complex. The 1.84-Mbp genome sequence comprises 404 contigs and contains 1,806 predicted protein-coding genes.

Genome Sequence of “Candidatus Aquiluna” sp. Strain IMCC13023, a Marine Member of the Actinobacteria Isolated from an Arctic Fjord

Citation
Kang et al. (2012). Journal of Bacteriology 194 (13)
Names
Aquiluna “Aquiluna rubra”
Abstract
ABSTRACT We report the genome sequence of actinobacterial strain IMCC13023, isolated from arctic fjord seawater. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene showed that the strain is related to “ Candidatus Aquiluna rubra.” The genome information suggests that strain IMCC13023 is a photoheterotroph carrying actinorhodopsin, with the smallest genome ever reported for a free-living member of the Actinobacteria .
