Halomonas salipaludis sp. nov., isolated from a saline-alkali wetland soil.

Strain WRN001, a Gram-staining-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile bacterium was isolated from the natural saline-alkali wetland soil of Binhai new district, Tianjin, China (38°46' N, 117°13' E). Cells of strain WRN001 were 0.3-0.

Comparative genomic and functional analysis of Akkermansia muciniphila and closely related species.

Background: Akkermansia muciniphila is an important bacterium that resides on the mucus layer of the intestinal tract. Akkermansia muciniphila has a high abundance in human feces and plays an important role in human health.

Objective: In this article, 23 whole genome sequences of the Akkermansia genus were comparatively studied.

Complete Genome Sequencing of WRN014, and Comparison with Genome Sequences of other Strains.

strain WRN014 was isolated from banana fields in Hainan, China. is an important member of the plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) which can enhance plant growth and control soil-borne disease. The complete genome of WRN014 was sequenced by combining Illumina Hiseq 2500 system and Pacific Biosciences SMRT high-throughput sequencing technologies.
