Genome Sequences of Actinobacteria from Extreme Environments in Colombia.

ABSTRACT: We sequenced six actinobacterial genomes isolated from a salt mine and from soil in a high-mountain Páramo ecosystem. The strains belonged to the genera Streptomyces, Nesterenkonia, and Isoptericola and were sequenced due to their antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities.

Antarctic blackfin icefish genome reveals adaptations to extreme environments.

Project description:Icefishes (suborder Notothenioidei; family Channichthyidae) are the only vertebrates that lack functional haemoglobin genes and red blood cells. Here, we report a high-quality genome assembly and linkage map for the Antarctic blackfin icefish Chaenocephalus aceratus, highlighting evolved genomic features for its unique physiology. Phylogenomic analysis revealed that Antarctic fish of the teleost suborder Notothenioidei, including icefishes, diverged from the stickleback lineage about 77 million years ago and subsequently evolved cold-adapted phenotypes as the Southern Ocean cooled to sub-zero temperatures. Our results show that genes involved in protection from ice damage, including genes encoding antifreeze glycoprotein and zona pellucida proteins, are highly expanded in the icefish genome. Furthermore, genes that encode enzymes that help to control cellular redox state, including members of the sod3 and nqo1 gene families, are expanded, probably as evolutionary adaptations to the relatively high concentration of oxygen dissolved in cold Antarctic waters. In contrast, some crucial regulators of circadian homeostasis (cry and per genes) are absent from the icefish genome, suggesting compromised control of biological rhythms in the polar light environment. The availability of the icefish genome sequence will accelerate our understanding of adaptation to extreme Antarctic environments.

Draft Genome Sequences of 13 Plant-Associated Actinobacteria of the Family Microbacteriaceae.

Project description:Draft genome sequences of 13 bacterial strains from the family Microbacteriaceae were generated using Illumina technology. The genome sizes varied from 3.0 to 4.8 Mb, and the DNA G+C content was 68.1 to 72.5%. The sequences obtained will contribute to the development of genome-based taxonomy and understanding of molecular interactions between bacteria and plants.

Draft Genome Sequences of Corynebacterium diphtheriae Clinical Isolates from Colombia.

Project description:Since the implementation of the diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) vaccine in Colombia, there has been a decrease in the reporting of cases. Here, we report two isolates of Corynebacterium diphtheriae bv. mitis isolated in the reference laboratory at Instituto Nacional de Salud from samples received from Norte de Santander and La Guajira; both areas are located on the northeast border of Colombia.

Draft Genome Sequences of 29 Helicobacter pylori Strains Isolated from Colombia.

Project description:Here, we present the draft genome sequences of 29 Colombian Helicobacter pylori strains. These strains were isolated in Bogotá, Colombia, from patients diagnosed with chronic gastritis. The genomic characterization of these strains will provide more information on the genetic composition of H. pylori strains from Colombia.

Genome sequencing of deep-sea hydrothermal vent snails reveals adaptions to extreme environments

Project description:Abstract Background The scaly-foot snail (Chrysomallon squamiferum) is highly adapted to deep-sea hydrothermal vents and has drawn much interest since its discovery. However, the limited information on its genome has impeded further related research and understanding of its adaptation to deep-sea hydrothermal vents. Findings Here, we report the whole-genome sequencing and assembly of the scaly-foot snail and another snail (Gigantopelta aegis), which inhabits similar environments. Using Oxford Nanopore Technology, 10X Genomics, and Hi-C technologies, we obtained a chromosome-level genome of C. squamiferum with an N50 size of 20.71 Mb. By constructing a phylogenetic tree, we found that these 2 deep-sea snails evolved independently of other snails. Their divergence from each other occurred ?66.3 million years ago. Comparative genomic analysis showed that different snails have diverse genome sizes and repeat contents. Deep-sea snails have more DNA transposons and long terminal repeats but fewer long interspersed nuclear elements than other snails. Gene family analysis revealed that deep-sea snails experienced stronger selective pressures than freshwater snails, and gene families related to the nervous system, immune system, metabolism, DNA stability, antioxidation, and biomineralization were significantly expanded in scaly-foot snails. We also found 251 H-2 Class II histocompatibility antigen, A-U ? chain-like (H2-Aal) genes, which exist uniquely in the Gigantopelta aegis genome. This finding is important for investigating the evolution of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes. Conclusion Our study provides new insights into deep-sea snail genomes and valuable resources for further studies.

Draft Genome Sequences of Clinical and Environmental Isolates of Aspergillus tamarii from Colombia.

Project description:Aspergillus is a very diverse genus of fungi that are common in the environment and can affect human health. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of two Colombian isolates of Aspergillus tamarii, an emerging pathogenic species. One isolate was obtained from an infected patient and the other from the environment in a hospital.

Draft Genome Sequences of 16 Halophilic Prokaryotes Isolated from Diverse Environments.

Project description:Halophile-specific enzymes have wide-ranging industrial and commercial applications. Despite their importance, there is a paucity of available halophile whole-genome sequences. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of 16 diverse salt-tolerant strains of bacteria and archaea isolated from a variety of high-salt environments.

Whole-Genome Sequencing of Native Sheep Provides Insights into Rapid Adaptations to Extreme Environments.

Project description:Global climate change has a significant effect on extreme environments and a profound influence on species survival. However, little is known of the genome-wide pattern of livestock adaptations to extreme environments over a short time frame following domestication. Sheep (Ovis aries) have become well adapted to a diverse range of agroecological zones, including certain extreme environments (e.g., plateaus and deserts), during their post-domestication (approximately 8-9 kya) migration and differentiation. Here, we generated whole-genome sequences from 77 native sheep, with an average effective sequencing depth of ?5×?for 75 samples and ?42×?for 2 samples. Comparative genomic analyses among sheep in contrasting environments, that is, plateau (>4,000 m above sea level) versus lowland (<100 m), high-altitude region (>1500 m) versus low-altitude region (<1300 m), desert (<10?mm average annual precipitation) versus highly humid region (>600?mm), and arid zone (<400?mm) versus humid zone (>400?mm), detected a novel set of candidate genes as well as pathways and GO categories that are putatively associated with hypoxia responses at high altitudes and water reabsorption in arid environments. In addition, candidate genes and GO terms functionally related to energy metabolism and body size variations were identified. This study offers novel insights into rapid genomic adaptations to extreme environments in sheep and other animals, and provides a valuable resource for future research on livestock breeding in response to climate change.

Draft Genome Sequences of Multiple Frackibacter Strains Isolated from Hydraulically Fractured Shale Environments.

Project description:The genomes of three novel Frackibacter strains (WG11, WG12, and WG13) were sequenced. These strains were isolated from hypersaline fluid collected from a hydraulically fractured natural gas well. These genomes provide information on the mechanisms necessary for growth in these environments and offer insight into interactions with other community members.
