Rapid Detection of DNA and RNA Shrimp Viruses Using CRISPR-Based Diagnostics.

Timely detection of persistent and emerging pathogens is critical to controlling disease spread, particularly in high-density populations with increased contact between individuals and limited-to-no ability to quarantine. Standard molecular diagnostic tests for surveying pathogenic microbes have provided the sensitivity needed for early detection, but lag in time-to-result leading to delayed action. On-site diagnostics alleviate this lag, but current technologies are less sensitive and adaptable than lab-based molecular methods.

Draft Genome Sequences of Cloacibacterium normanense IMET F, a Microalgal Growth-Promoting Bacterium, and Aeromonas jandaei IMET J, a Microalgal Growth-Inhibiting Bacterium.

We report here the whole-genome sequencing results of two bacterial isolates, IMET J and IMET F, that inhibit (possibly due to denitrifying gene clusters) and promote (possibly due to an ammonification system), respectively, the growth of the microalgal strains HTB1 and 1807.
