Comparative Genome Analysis of with Its Closest Phylogenetic Neighbor, , and and Groups.

currently possesses one of the most highly heat-resistant spores (HRS), which can withstand ultra-high temperature (UHT) processing. Determination of multiple whole genome sequences of . provided an opportunity to perform the first comparative genome analysis between strains and with .

Genome Sequences of Bacillus sporothermodurans Strains Isolated from Ultra-High-Temperature Milk.

Here, we report the draft genome sequences of 3 strains isolated from ultra-high-temperature milk products in South Africa and Brazil and the type strain MB 581 (DSM 10599). The genomes will provide valuable information on the molecular dynamics of heat resistance in .

Short communication: Source tracking Bacillus cereus in an extended-shelf-life milk processing plant using partial sequencing of rpoB and multilocus sequence typing.

We used rpoB partial sequencing and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) to characterize 7 Bacillus cereus strains obtained at the following points: ESL milk during shelf life, pasteurized milk, raw milk, and filler nozzles after cleaning in place. The objective of the study was to determine relatedness among B. cereus isolates from several sampling points along an ESL processing plant with the aim of source tracking.

Draft genome sequence of DSM 9356 isolated from the termite .

strain DSM 9356 isolated from the termite was sequenced to gain insights in relation to its closest phylogenetic neighbor . The draft genome of strain DSM 9356 contains 5,083,966 bp with an estimated G + C content of 35%, 4899 protein-coding genes, 116 tRNAs and 18 rRNAs. The RAST annotation assigned these genes into 462 subsystems, with the maximum number of genes associated with amino acids and derivatives metabolism (14.
