Draft Genome Sequences of Five Historical Bacillus anthracis Strains.

ABSTRACT: Bacillus anthracis is the causative agent of anthrax, a disease of livestock, wildlife, and humans. Here, we present the draft genome sequences of five historical B. anthracis strains that were preserved as lyophilates in glass vials for decades.

Draft Genome Sequences of Two Bulgarian Bacillus anthracis Strains.

Project description:Bacillus anthracis strains previously isolated from Bulgaria form a unique subcluster within the A1.a cluster that is typical for isolates from southeastern Europe. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of two Bulgarian B. anthracis strains belonging to the A branch (A.Br.)008/009 canonical single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) group of the major A branch.

Draft Genome Sequences of Two South African Bacillus anthracis Strains.

Project description:Bacillus anthracis is a Gram-positive bacterium that causes anthrax, mainly in herbivores through exotoxins and capsule produced on plasmids, pXO1 and pXO2. This paper compares the whole-genome sequences of two B. anthracis strains from an endemic region and a sporadic outbreak in South Africa. Sequencing was done using next-generation sequencing technologies.

Genome Sequences of Penicillin-Resistant Bacillus anthracis Strains.

Project description:Bacillus anthracis, the etiologic agent of anthrax, is characteristically susceptible to penicillin despite containing two chromosomal β-lactamase genes. Few naturally occurring penicillin-resistant B. anthracis isolates have been reported. Here, we report the draft genome sequences for three penicillin-resistant B. anthracis strains, strain 32, UT308, and SK57.

Draft genome sequences of five strains in the genus thauera.

Project description:Thauera species are members of the betaproteobacteria and are most noted for their ability to metabolize aromatic compounds under anoxic conditions. Here, we announce the draft genome sequences of five Thauera strains in an effort to provide further genetic information as a resource for understanding the ecological function of this environmentally important genus.

Draft Genome Sequences of Five Fungal Strains Isolated from Kefir.

Project description:We present the annotated draft genome sequences of five fungal strains isolated from kefir grains. These isolates included three ascomycetous (Candida californica, Kazachstania exigua, and Kazachstania unispora) and one basidiomycetous (Rhodotorula mucilaginosa) species. The results revealed a detailed overview of the metabolic features of kefir fungi that will be potentially useful in biotechnological applications.

Whole Genome-Sequencing and Phylogenetic Analysis of a Historical Collection of Bacillus anthracis Strains from Danish Cattle.

Project description:Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, is known as one of the most genetically monomorphic species. Canonical single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) typing and whole-genome sequencing were used to investigate the molecular diversity of eleven B. anthracis strains isolated from cattle in Denmark between 1935 and 1988. Danish strains were assigned into five canSNP groups or lineages, i.e. A.Br.001/002 (n = 4), A.Br.Ames (n = 2), A.Br.008/011 (n = 2), A.Br.005/006 (n = 2) and A.Br.Aust94 (n = 1). The match with the A.Br.Ames lineage is of particular interest as the occurrence of such lineage in Europe is demonstrated for the first time, filling an historical gap within the phylogeography of the lineage. Comparative genome analyses of these strains with 41 isolates from other parts of the world revealed that the two Danish A.Br.008/011 strains were related to the heroin-associated strains responsible for outbreaks of injection anthrax in drug users in Europe. Eight novel diagnostic SNPs that specifically discriminate the different sub-groups of Danish strains were identified and developed into PCR-based genotyping assays.

Draft Genome Sequence of Bacillus anthracis Strain Sterne 09RA8929.

Project description:A Bacillus anthracis vaccine strain (Sterne), used as an attenuated laboratory comparative strain, was sequenced and analyzed. A comparison to assemblies of B. anthracis strain Sterne (NZ_CP009541 and NZ_CP009540) was performed. The lack of the pX02 plasmid and pX01 in approximately five copies was confirmed.
