Project description:The complete plastid genome (plastome) of Pentactina rupicola Nakai, the sole member of genus Pentactina, endemic to Korea, was determined in this study. The plastome of P. rupicola is 156,612?bp in length and is composed of a pair of 26,351?bp inverted repeat regions (IRa and IRb) separating large (LSC) and small (SSC) single-copy regions of 84,970 and 18,940?bp, respectively (NCBI acc. no. NC 016921). The plastome encodes 129 genes, of which 112 are unique, including 78 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. Seventeen genes contain one intron and the ycf3 gene has two introns. The second intron of clpP is absent in the P. rupicola plastome. The AT content of P. rupicola is 63% overall, and in the LSC, SSC, and IR regions is 65%, 69%, and 58%, respectively. A total of 63 simple sequence repeats (SSR) are distributed among the noncoding regions of the genome. Phylogenetic analysis of the combined 82-gene data set for 35 plastomes suggests that P. rupicola is sister to the Pyrusmalus clade.
Project description:Saccharomonospora azurea Runmao et al. 1987 is a member of the genus Saccharomonospora, which is in the family Pseudonocardiaceae and thus far poorly characterized genomically. Members of the genus Saccharomonospora are of interest because they originate from diverse habitats, such as leaf litter, manure, compost, the surface of peat, and moist and over-heated grain, and may play a role in the primary degradation of plant material by attacking hemicellulose. Next to S. viridis, S. azurea is only the second member in the genus Saccharomonospora for which a completely sequenced type strain genome will be published. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence with project status 'Improved high quality draft', and the annotation. The 4,763,832 bp long chromosome with its 4,472 protein-coding and 58 RNA genes was sequenced as part of the DOE funded Community Sequencing Program (CSP) 2010 at the Joint Genome Institute (JGI).
