Draft genomes of four isolates retrieved from the elaboration process of henequen () mezcal.

We report the draft genomes of four isolates obtained from the elaboration process of henequen () mezcal, a Mexican alcoholic beverage. The average nucleotide identity analysis revealed that isolates derived from agave plants are distinct from those from other environments, including agave fermentations.

Evaluation of nuclear and mitochondrial phylogenetics for the subtyping of Cyclospora cayetanensis.

Cyclospora cayetanensis is an enteric coccidian parasite responsible for gastrointestinal disease transmitted through contaminated food and water. It has been documented in several countries, mostly with low-socioeconomic levels, although major outbreaks have hit developed countries. Detection methods based on oocyst morphology, staining, and molecular testing have been developed.

Nematicidal, Acaricidal and Plant Growth-Promoting Activity of Endophytic Strains and Identification of Genes Associated with These Biological Activities in the Genomes.

In the present study, the nematicidal and acaricidal activity of three endophytic strains isolated from nodules was evaluated. The percentages of mortality of NOD4 against was 81.2%, and against 70.

PCR system for the correct differentiation of the main bacterial species of the Klebsiella pneumoniae complex.

Accurate recognition of the closely related species Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella quasipneumoniae and Klebsiella variicola by phenotypic, biochemical and automated tests is notoriously unreliable in hospitals' diagnostic laboratories. A comparative genomics approach was conducted for the correct differentiation of the main bacterial species in the K. pneumoniae complex.

Klebsiella variicola Reference Strain F2R9 (ATCC BAA-830) Genome Sequence.

Klebsiella variicola F2R9 was isolated from banana root, and its sequence has been deposited as ATCC BAA-830. It corresponds to sequence type 11 (ST11) and KL16 and contains no identifiable plasmids. The genome showed few antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes and several plant association genes.

A Plasmid Confers Hypermucoviscosity-Like Phenotype and Alters Capsule Production and Virulence.

Hypermucoviscosity (hmv) is a capsule-associated phenotype usually linked with hypervirulent strains. The key components of this phenotype are the RmpADC proteins contained in non-transmissible plasmids identified and studied in . is closely related to and recently has been identified as an emergent human pathogen.

Interdependency of regulatory effects of iron and riboflavin in the foodborne pathogen determined by integral transcriptomics.

is the causative agent of dysentery. For pathogens, iron is a critical micronutrient as its bioavailability is usually low in bacterial niches. This metal is involved in critical physiological processes mainly as a component of important metabolic molecules involved in redox reactions.

Molecular epidemiology of Klebsiella variicola obtained from different sources.

Klebsiella variicola is considered an emerging pathogen in humans and has been described in different environments. K. variicola belongs to Klebsiella pneumoniae complex, which has expanded the taxonomic classification and hindered epidemiological and evolutionary studies.

Transcriptomics reveals a cross-modulatory effect between riboflavin and iron and outlines responses to riboflavin biosynthesis and uptake in Vibrio cholerae.

Vibrio cholerae, a pandemic diarrheagenic bacterium, is able to synthesize the essential vitamin riboflavin through the riboflavin biosynthetic pathway (RBP) and also to internalize it through the RibN importer. In bacteria, the way riboflavin biosynthesis and uptake functions correlate is unclear. To gain insights into the role of the riboflavin provision pathways in the physiology of V.
