Title: Complete Genome Sequence of Curtobacterium sp. Isolated from Surface-Sterilized Germinating Alfalfa Seeds
ABSTRACT We reported the complete genome sequence of a member of the pathogenic Curtobacterium genus. The sample includes a circular 3,955-kb chromosome, a 164-kb megaplasmid and a 42-kb plasmid. This strain was isolated from surface-sterilized alfalfa seeds.  more » « less

    ABSTRACT Here, we report the complete-genome assemblies of biofilm isolates 201A and 204H. They possess six and seven plasmids, respectively, with a size ranging from 44 kb to 159 kb. Genomic comparisons place the two strains into one new species belonging to the genus Leisingera as novel representatives of the Roseobacter group.

    ABSTRACT We announce the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Oreohelix idahoensis , a threatened land snail endemic to the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The circular genome is 14.2 kb and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 21 tRNA genes.

    Here, we characterized the complete genome of the Siphoviridae BiggityBass, a lytic subcluster DR bacteriophage infecting Gordonia terrae CAG3. Its 63.2-kb genome contains 84 protein-coding genes, of which 40 could be assigned a putative function. BiggityBass is related most closely to AnClar and Yago84 with 90.61% and 90.52% nucleotide identity, respectively.

    ABSTRACT We characterized the complete genome sequence of Chako, an obligate lytic bacteriophage with siphovirus morphology from subcluster EA1 that infects Microbacterium foliorum NRRL B-24224. Its 41.6-kb genome contains 62 putative protein-coding genes and is highly similar to that of bacteriophage HanSolo (99.26% nucleotide identity).

    Abstract The microbial sampling of submarine hydrothermal vents remains challenging, with even fewer studies focused on viruses. Here we report what is to our knowledge the first isolation of a eukaryotic virus from the Lost City hydrothermal field, by co-culture with the laboratory host Acanthamoeba castellanii. This virus, named pacmanvirus lostcity, is closely related to previously isolated pacmanviruses (strains A23 and S19), clustering in a divergent clade within the long-established family Asfarviridae. The icosahedral particles of this virus are 200 nm in diameter, with an electron-dense core surrounded by an inner membrane. The viral genome of 395 708 bp (33% G + C) has been predicted to encode 473 proteins. However, besides these standard properties, pacmanvirus lostcity was found to be associated with a new type of selfish genetic element, 7 kb in length, whose architecture and gene content are reminiscent of those of transpovirons, hitherto specific to the family Mimiviridae. As in previously described transpovirons, this selfishg genetic element propagates as an episome within its host virus particles and exhibits partial recombination with its genome. In addition, an unrelated episome with a length of 2 kb was also found to be associated with pacmanvirus lostcity. Together, the transpoviron and the 2-kb episome might participate in exchanges between pacmanviruses and other DNA virus families. It remains to be elucidated if the presence of these mobile genetic elements is restricted to pacmanviruses or was simply overlooked in other members of the Asfarviridae.
