Draft Genome Sequence of Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacterium sp. Strain USMB20, Isolated from Nodules of .

sp. strain USMB20 is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium that was isolated from nodules of the leguminous cover crop The draft genome sequence of sp. strain USMB20 has an assembly size of 7.

Hypothetical Protein BPSL3393 of is Involved in Ethanolamine Catabolism.

is a soil-dwelling bacterium that causes a globally emerging disease called melioidosis. Approximately one third of the in silico annotated genes in its genome are classified as hypothetical genes. This group of genes is difficult to be functionally characterised partly due to the absence of noticeable phenotypes under conventional laboratory settings.

Genome Sequence of a Gram-Positive Diazotroph, Paenibacillus durus Type Strain ATCC 35681.

Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Paenibacillus durus type strain ATCC 35681, which can fix atmospheric nitrogen even in the presence of nitrate.

The multiple roles of hypothetical gene BPSS1356 in Burkholderia pseudomallei.

Burkholderia pseudomallei is an opportunistic pathogen and the causative agent of melioidosis. It is able to adapt to harsh environments and can live intracellularly in its infected hosts. In this study, identification of transcriptional factors that associate with the β' subunit (RpoC) of RNA polymerase was performed.

Validation of a Burkholderia pseudomallei hypothetical protein and determination of its translational start codon using chromosomal integration of His-Tag coding sequence.

In this post genomic era, there are a great number of in silico annotated hypothetical genes. However, experimental validation of the functionality of these genes remains tentative. Two of the major challenges faced by researcher are whether these hypothetical genes are protein-coding genes and whether their corresponding predicted translational start codons are correct.
