sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov. and sp. nov., isolated from in, and around, a rainbow trout farm.

During a large-scale bacterial culturing effort of biofilms in the vicinity of a rainbow trout aquaculture facility in Idaho, USA, 10 isolates were identified as having pathogen-inhibiting activity and were characterized further. These isolates were shown to be Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria belonging to the genus . Whole-genome comparisons and multi-locus sequence analysis using four housekeeping genes (16S rRNA, , and ) showed that these 10 isolates clustered into four distinct species groups.

Research Ethics for Behavior Analysts in Practice.

Behavior analysts in practice have an advantage over many others in the helping professions-they have at their disposal a robust science of behavior change informed primarily by single-case experimental research designs. This is advantageous because the research literature is focused on individual behavior change and has direct relevance to behavior analysts who need to change the behavior of individuals in need. Also, the same experimental designs used to advance the basic and applied sciences can be used to evaluate and refine specific procedures as they are put into practice.

Behavior analytic jargon does not seem to influence treatment acceptability ratings.

Some have argued that behavior analysts have insulated themselves by eschewing the vernacular and adopting idiosyncratic and sometimes counterintuitive technical terms to describe their science and practice. Because of this, behavior analysis plays a minor role in psychology and related fields and effective behavior-change interventions go unused. All told, findings about the effects of behavior-analytic jargon are mixed.

Complete Genome Sequence of sp. Strain NC02, Isolated from Soil.

We report here the complete genome sequence of sp. strain NC02, isolated from soil in eastern Massachusetts. We assembled PacBio reads into a single closed contig with 132× mean coverage and then polished this contig using Illumina MiSeq reads, yielding a 6,890,566-bp sequence with 61.
