Genome sequences of eight morphologically diverse Alphaproteobacteria.

ABSTRACT: The Alphaproteobacteria comprise morphologically diverse bacteria, including many species of stalked bacteria. Here we announce the genome sequences of eight alphaproteobacteria, including the first genome sequences of species belonging to the genera Asticcacaulis, Hirschia, Hyphomicrobium, and Rhodomicrobium.

Genome sequences identify three families of Coleoptera as morphologically derived click beetles (Elateridae).

Project description:Plastoceridae Crowson, 1972, Drilidae Blanchard, 1845 and Omalisidae Lacordaire, 1857 (Elateroidea) are families of the Coleoptera with obscure phylogenetic relationships and modified morphology showing neotenic traits such as soft bodies, reduced wing cases and larviform females. We shotgun sequenced genomes of Plastocerus, Drilus and Omalisus and incorporated them into data matrices of 66 and 4202 single-copy nuclear genes representing Elateroidea. Phylogenetic analyses indicate their terminal positions within the broadly defined well-sclerotized and fully metamorphosed Elateridae and thus Omalisidae should now be considered as Omalisinae stat. nov. in Elateridae Leach, 1815. The results support multiple independent origins of incomplete metamorphosis in Elateridae and indicate the parallel evolution of morphological and ecological traits. Unlike other neotenic elateroids derived from the supposedly pre-adapted aposematically coloured and unpalatable soft-bodied elateroids, such as fireflies (Lampyridae) and net-winged beetles (Lycidae), omalisids and drilids evolved from well-sclerotized click beetles. These findings suggest sudden morphological shifts through incomplete metamorphosis, with important implications for macroevolution, including reduced speciation rate and high extinction risk in unstable habitats. Precise phylogenetic placement is necessary for studies of the molecular mechanisms of ontogenetic shifts leading to profoundly changed morphology.

Draft Genome Sequences of Eight Pseudomonas aeruginosa Corneal Infection Isolates.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the major cause of bacterial keratitis, a sight-threatening ocular infection that can occur in contact lens wearers, as well as in others. Here, we report the draft genomes of 8 different P. aeruginosa corneal isolates, adding to the list of publicly available corneal infection-associated P. aeruginosa genomes.

Whole-Genome Sequences of Eight Campylobacter jejuni Isolates from Wild Birds.

Project description:We present here the draft genome sequences of 8 Campylobacter jejuni strains isolated from wild birds. The strains were initially isolated from swabs taken from resident wild birds in the Tokachi area of Japan. The genome sizes range from 1.65 to 1.77 Mbp.

Complete and Draft Genome Sequences of Eight Oceanic Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strains.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common model bacterial species, and genomes of hundreds of strains of this species have been sequenced to date. However, currently there is only one available genome of an oceanic isolate. Here, we report two complete and six draft genome sequences of P. aeruginosa isolates from the open ocean.

Genome Sequences of Eight Prophages Isolated from Lactococcus lactis Dairy Strains.

Project description:P335 group phages represent the most divergent phage group infecting dairy Lactococcus lactis strains and have significant implications for the dairy processing industry. Here, we report the complete genome sequences of eight lactococcal prophages chemically induced from industrial lactococcal strains that propagate lytically on one of two laboratory strains.

Eight Genome Sequences of Cluster BE1 Phages That Infect Streptomyces Species.

Project description:Cluster BE1 Streptomyces bacteriophages belong to the Siphoviridae, with genome sizes over 130 kbp, and they contain direct terminal repeats of approximately 11 kbp. Eight newly isolated closely related cluster BE1 phages contain 43 to 48 tRNAs, one transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA), and 216 to 236 predicted open reading frames (ORFs), but few of their genes are shared with other phages, including those infecting Streptomyces species.

Genome Sequences of Two Morphologically Distinct and Thermophilic Bacillus coagulans Strains, H-1 and XZL9.

Project description:Two thermophilic Bacillus coagulans strains, H-1 and XZL9, both of which were isolated from soils, have different morphological properties. Strain XZL9 but not H-1 is an efficient pentose-utilizing producer of important platform compounds, such as l-lactic acid and 2,3-butanediol. Here we announce the 2.86- and 3.43-Mb sequences of their genomes.

Genome Sequences of 17 Diverse Pseudomonas aeruginosa Phages.

Project description:Here, we describe genome sequences of 17 Pseudomonas aeruginosa phages, including therapeutic candidates. They belong to the families Myoviridae, Podoviridae, and Siphoviridae and six different genera. The genomes ranged in size from 42,788 to 88,805 bp, with G+C contents of 52.5% to 64.3% and numbers of coding sequences from 58 to 179.

Genome organization and localization of the pufLM genes of the photosynthesis reaction center in phylogenetically diverse marine Alphaproteobacteria.

Project description:Genome organization, plasmid content and localization of the pufLM genes of the photosynthesis reaction center were studied by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) in marine phototrophic Alphaproteobacteria. Both anaerobic phototrophs (Rhodobacter veldkampii and Rhodobacter sphaeroides) and strictly aerobic anoxygenic phototrophs from the Roseobacter-Sulfitobacter-Silicibacter clade (Roseivivax halodurans, Roseobacter litoralis, Staleya guttiformis, Roseovarius tolerans, and five new strains isolated from dinoflagellate cultures) were investigated. The complete genome size was estimated for R. litoralis DSM6996(T) to be 4,704 kb, including three linear plasmids. All strains contained extrachromosomal elements of various conformations (linear or circular) and lengths (between 4.35 and 368 kb). In strain DFL-12, a member of a putative new genus isolated from a culture of the toxic dinoflagellate Prorocentrum lima, seven linear plasmids were found, together comprising 860 kb of genetic information. Hybridization with probes against the pufLM genes of the photosynthesis gene cluster after Southern transfer of the genomic DNAs showed these genes to be located on a linear plasmid of 91 kb in R. litoralis and on a linear plasmid of 120 kb in S. guttiformis, theoretically allowing their horizontal transfer. In all other strains, the pufLM genes were detected on the bacterial chromosome. The large number and significant size of the linear plasmids found especially in isolates from dinoflagellates might account for the metabolic versatility and presumed symbiotic association with eukaryotic hosts in these bacteria.
