Draft Genome Sequence of Entomopathogenic Strain Lak 1210, an Alkaliphilic Chitin Degrader.

We announce here the draft genome sequence of strain Lak 1210, isolated from mangrove soil. This alkaliphilic strain is an efficient chitin degrader and has the ability to control insects and inhibit phytopathogenic fungi. The assembly consists of 5,082,926 bp, with 4,321 protein-coding sequences and a GC content of 41.

Mitochondrial myopathy, cardiomyopathy, and pontine signal changes in an adult patient with isolated complex II deficiency.

Mitochondrial disorders resulting from an isolated deficiency of complex II of the respiratory chain is rarely reported. The phenotypic spectrum associated with these disorders is heterogeneous and still expanding. This report describes a patient who presented with myopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, and pontine signal changes on magnetic resonance imaging.
