    ABSTRACT We report the genomic sequences of 14 bacterial isolates from a supraglacial stream on the Cotton Glacier, Antarctica. Fine sediments in the streambed provide habitat for bacterial growth and biofilm formation. The stream represents a natural laboratory for studying the evolution and adaptation of microbes to a humic-free environment.

    ABSTRACT We isolated seven endospore-forming bacteria from campus woodland and sequenced their genomes using Illumina NextSeq. We share the draft genome assemblies for strainsBacillus wiedmanii_SC129,Bacillus pseudomycoides_SC131,Bacillus pumilis_SC133,Peribacillus butanolivorans_SC135,Bacillus thuringiensis_SC136,Priestia megaterium_SC138, andBacillus wiedmanii_SC141. Draft genome sizes range from 3,645,032 to 5,969,865 bp, with GC content between 34.8% and 41.2%.

    ABSTRACT The complete genome ofPlanococcus koreensiswas obtained using Nanopore MinION sequencing after isolation from soil in Colorado. The assembled genome contains one circular contig with 3,519,105 bp, 3,606 genes, 419 pseudogenes, and 47.62% guanine-cytosine content. This discovery provides a fully assembledP. koreensisgenome available at the National Center for Biotechnology Information.

    ABSTRACT Oxford Nanopore Technologies provides multiplexing options for DNA and cDNA sequencing, but not for direct RNA sequencing. Here we describe a duplexing approach and validate it by simultaneously sequencing theSaccharomyces cerevisiaerRNA from wild type and knockout that have differential rRNA modifications, successfully demultiplexing the data using bioinformatics approaches.

    ABSTRACT Here, we report the draft genome sequences ofFlagellimonassp. MMG031 andMarinobactersp. MMG032, isolated from coral-associated dinoflagellateSymbiodinium pilosum, assembled and analyzed by undergraduate students participating in a Marine Microbial Genomics (MMG) course. A genomic comparison suggests MMG031 and MMG032 are novel species and a resource for restoration and biotechnology.

    We report a draft genome sequence for Sanguibacter species strain 25GB23B1, isolated from arctic surface seawater off the coast of Alaska. The whole genome sequence will provide knowledge of the bacteria’s relationship to its environment and possibly a new species of Sanguibacter.

    ABSTRACT We report the genome sequence ofBacillus subtilisstrain YB955, a prophage-cured strain used as a model in DNA repair, bacterial physiology, and mutagenesis studies. The assembled and annotated draft genome contains 4,031 coding genes, 5 rRNAs, and 73 tRNAs. Compared to 168, YB955 has a 134,402 bp deletion.

    ABSTRACT Seven bacteriophages were isolated from soil in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin using the hostMicrobacterium foliorum. These bacteriophages range in the number of predicted genes encoded, from 25 to 91, and are distributed across actinobacteriophage clusters EB, EC, EE, and EK.

    ABSTRACT A whole genome sequence of aPaenibacillussp. bacterium isolated from soil in Fort Collins, Colorado was obtained. This bacterium was of particular interest due to its antibiotic potential against Gram-positive pathogen surrogates.
