Whole-genome sequence of OLsAu1 isolated from the edible wild ectomycorrhizal mushroom sp. section .

We announce the genome sequencing, assembly, and annotation of the OLsAu1 strain and its taxonomic assignment to . The isolate comes from a wild edible ectomycorrhizal sp. mushroom in the forest.

Functional annotation and comparative genomics analysis of Balamuthia mandrillaris reveals potential virulence-related genes.

Balamuthia mandrillaris is a pathogenic protozoan that causes a rare but almost always fatal infection of the central nervous system and, in some cases, cutaneous lesions. Currently, the genomic data for this free-living amoeba include the description of several complete mitochondrial genomes. In contrast, two complete genomes with draft quality are available in GenBank, but none of these have a functional annotation.

Draft genome sequence of the highly copper-tolerant MLP1 isolated from the rhizosphere of grasses adjacent to mine tailings.

We present the genome of a highly copper-tolerant pink-pigmented facultative methylotroph isolated from the rhizosphere of grasses growing close to mine tailings. Based on whole-genome taxonomic analyses, this isolate was named MLP1. Studies are in progress to infer its genome-based copper resistome.

Probiotic Properties and Proteomic Analysis of 1101.

1101 was identified by using 16S rRNA and MALDI-Biotyper. The strain was exposed to conditions that resemble the gastrointestinal tract (GT) to evaluate its probiotic properties. That included the growth kinetics, proteolytic and inhibitory activities within a pH range, survival at low pH and in the presence of bile salts, antagonistic activity, cell-adhesion properties, and antibiotic resistance.

Molecular Detection and Characterization of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus and Porcine Aichivirus C Coinfection in México.

Swine enteric viral infections are responsible for substantial economic losses in the pork industry worldwide. Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PEDV) is one of the main causative agents of diarrhea in lactating pigs, and reports of PEDV coinfection with other enteric viruses highlight the importance of viral interactions for disease presentation and outcomes. Using next-generation sequencing (NGS) and sequence analyses from samples taken from piglets with acute diarrhea, we explored the possible interactions between PEDV and other less reported pathogens.

Draft Genome Sequences of Endophytic Isolates of Klebsiella variicola and Klebsiella pneumoniae Obtained from the Same Sugarcane Plant.

Endophytic KvMx2 and KpMx1 isolates obtained from the same sugarcane stem were used for whole-genome sequencing. The genomes revealed clear differences in essential genes for plant growth, development, and detoxification, as well as nitrogen fixation, catalases, cellulases, and shared virulence factors described in the pathogen.

Draft Genome Sequence of HIM3 Isolated from an Entomopathogenic Nematode in Agricultural Soils.

In this work, we report the draft genome sequence of strain HIM3, a symbiotic bacterium associated with the entomopathogenic nematode MOR03, isolated from soil sugarcane in Yautepec, Morelos, Mexico. These bacteria have a G+C content of 42.6% and genome size of 5.

Draft Genome Sequence of Burkholderia cenocepacia Strain CEIB S5-2, a Methyl Parathion- and p-Nitrophenol-Degrading Bacterium, Isolated from Agricultural Soils in Morelos, Mexico.

Burkholderia cenocepacia is an opportunistic pathogen that belongs to Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC). Burkholderia cenocepacia strain CEIB S5-2 was isolated from agricultural soils in Morelos, Mexico, and previously has shown its abilities for bioremediation. In this study, we report the draft genome sequence of Burkholderia cenocepacia strain CEIB S5-2.

Draft Genome Sequence of Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus Strain Mor30.16, Isolated from the Bean Rhizosphere.

Bacteria of the genus Arthrobacter are commonly found in the soil and plant rhizosphere. In this study we report the draft genome of Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus strain Mor30.16 that was isolated from rhizosphere of beans grown in Cuernavaca Morelos, Mexico.

Burkholderia cenocepacia Strain CEIB S5-1, a Rhizosphere-Inhabiting Bacterium with Potential in Bioremediation.

Burkholderia cenocepacia is considered an opportunistic pathogen from humans and may cause disease in plants. A bioprospection from a plaguicide-contaminated agricultural field in Mexico identified several methyl parathion-degrading bacteria. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of B.

A Newly Sequenced Alcaligenes faecalis Strain: Implications for Novel Temporal Symbiotic Relationships.

We report here the draft genome sequence of Alcaligenes faecalis strain MOR02, a bacterium that is able to colonize nematodes in a temporary fashion and kill insects for their own benefit. The availability of the genome should enable us to explain these phenotypes.

Draft Genome Sequence of the Organophosphorus Compound-Degrading Burkholderia zhejiangensis Strain CEIB S4-3.

Burkholderia species are widely distributed in the environment. A Burkholderia zhejiangensis strain was isolated from pesticide-contaminated soil from an agricultural field in Mexico and identified as an organophosphorus compound-degrading bacterium. In this study, we report the draft genome sequence of Burkholderia zhejiangensis strain CEIB S4-3.
