Genome Analysis of Staphylococcus capitis TE8 Reveals Repertoire of Antimicrobial Peptides and Adaptation Strategies for Growth on Human Skin.

Staphylococcus capitis TE8 was isolated from skin surface of a healthy human foot, and exhibited a strong antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus. Whole genome sequence of S. capitis TE8 was obtained by shotgun and paired-end pyrosequencing with a coverage of 109-fold.

Insights into functional and evolutionary analysis of carbaryl metabolic pathway from Pseudomonas sp. strain C5pp.

Carbaryl (1-naphthyl N-methylcarbamate) is a most widely used carbamate pesticide in the agriculture field. Soil isolate, Pseudomonas sp. strain C5pp mineralizes carbaryl via 1-naphthol, salicylate and gentisate, however the genetic organization and evolutionary events of acquisition and assembly of pathway have not yet been studied.

Draft Genome Sequence of Carbaryl-Degrading Soil Isolate Pseudomonas sp. Strain C5pp.

We report the draft genome sequence of carbaryl-degrading Pseudomonas sp. strain C5pp. Genes encoding salicylate and gentisate metabolism, large amounts of oxygenase, nitrogen metabolism, and heavy metal tolerance were identified.

Genome sequence of a clinical isolate of dermatophyte, Trichophyton rubrum from India.

Trichophyton rubrum is one of the major causative agents of dermatophytosis in humans worldwide. We report the draft genome sequence of T. rubrum var.

Genome Sequence of Staphylococcus massiliensis Strain S46, Isolated from the Surface of Healthy Human Skin.

Staphylococcus massiliensis strain S46 was isolated from the surface of healthy human skin. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of S. massiliensis S46 (2,447,110 bp, with a G+C content of 36.

Draft Genome Sequence of a Clinical Isolate of Multidrug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis East African Indian Strain OSDD271.

We describe the genome sequencing and analysis of a clinical isolate of Mycobacterium tuberculosis East African Indian (EAI) strain OSDD271 from India.

We report the 5.0-Mb genome sequence of Indibacter alkaliphilus strain LW1(T), isolated from a haloalkaline crater lake in the Buldana district, Maharashtra, India.

Genome sequence of Nitratireductor aquibiodomus strain RA22.

The genus Nitratireductor represents nitrate-reducing bacteria from the family Phyllobacteriaceae. Here we report the draft genome sequence of Nitratireductor aquibiodomus strain RA22, which contains 4,592,790 bp, with a G+C content of 61.30%, and has 4,241 protein coding genes.

Genome sequence of the alkaliphilic bacterium Nitritalea halalkaliphila type strain LW7, isolated from Lonar Lake, India.

An alkaliphilic bacterium, Nitritalea halalkaliphila LW7, which belongs to the family Cyclobacteriacae in the phylum Bacteroidetes, was isolated from Lonar Lake in Maharastra, India. Here we announce the draft genome sequence of the type strain LW7, which contains 3,633,701 bp with a G+C content of 48.58%.

Genome sequence of a novel actinophage PIS136 isolated from a strain of Saccharomonospora sp.

A wide-host-range bacteriophage (phage) PIS136 was isolated from PA136, a strain of Saccharomonospora belonging to the group actinomycetes. Here, we present the genome sequence of the PIS136 phage, which is 94,870 bp long and contains 132 putative coding sequences and one tRNA gene. An IS element-like region with two genes for putative transposases was identified in the genome.
