Abstract Here, we report the discovery of a novel Sediminibacterium sequenced from laboratory cultures of freshwater stream cyanobacteria from sites in Southern California, grown in BG11 medium. Our genome-wide analyses reveal a highly contiguous and complete genome (97% BUSCO) that is placed within sediminibacterial clades in phylogenomic analyses. Functional annotation indicates the presence of genes that could be involved in mutualistic/commensal relationship with associated cyanobacterial hosts.

We consider the maximum matching problem in the semi-streaming model formalized by Feigenbaum, Kannan, McGregor, Suri, and Zhang that is inspired by giant graphs of today. As our main result, we give a two-pass (1/2 + 1/16)-approximation algorithm for triangle-free graphs and a two-pass (1/2 + 1/32)-approximation algorithm for general graphs; these improve the approximation ratios of 1/2 + 1/52 for bipartite graphs and 1/2 + 1/140 for general graphs by Konrad, Magniez, and Mathieu. In three passes, we are able to achieve approximation ratios of 1/2 + 1/10 for triangle-free graphs and 1/2 + 1/19.753 for general graphs. We also give a multi-pass algorithm where we bound the number of passes precisely—we give a (2/3 − ε)- approximation algorithm that uses 2/(3ε) passes for triangle-free graphs and 4/(3ε) passes for general graphs. Our algorithms are simple and combinatorial, use O(n log n) space, and (can be implemented to) have O(1) update time per edge. For general graphs, our multi-pass algorithm improves the best known deterministic algorithms in terms of the number of passes: * Ahn and Guha give a (2/3−ε)-approximation algorithm that uses O(log(1/ε)/ε2) passes, whereas our (2/3 − ε)-approximation algorithm uses 4/(3ε) passes; * they also give a (1 − ε)-approximation algorithm that uses O(log n · poly(1/ε)) passes, where n is the number of vertices of the input graph; although our algorithm is (2/3−ε)-approximation, our number of passes do not depend on n. Earlier multi-pass algorithms either have a large constant inside big-O notation for the number of passes or the constant cannot be determined due to the involved analysis, so our multi-pass algorithm should use much fewer passes for approximation ratios bounded slightly below 2/3.more » « less
