Draft genome sequence of Chryseobacterium limigenitum SUR2T (LMG 28734T) isolated from dehydrated sludge

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT The type strain SUR2 of the novel species Chryseobacterium limigenitum was isolated from a dehydrated sludge of the municipal sewage treatment plant in Dogoše near Maribor in Slovenia. The draft genome, with 60 contigs, 4,697,725 bp, 34.4% of G+C content, was obtained using the Illumina HiS...

Draft genome sequence of Vitellibacter aquimaris D-24T isolated from seawater

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT Vitellibacter aquimaris D-24T (=KCTC 42708T = DSM 101732T), a halophilic marine bacterium, was isolated from seawater collected from Desaru beach, Malaysia. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of D-24T with a genome size of approximately 3.1 Mbp and G + C content of 39.93%. The genome of ...

Genome sequencing of two Bacillus anthracis strains: a virulent strain and a vaccinal strain

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT Bacillus anthracis strain SPV842_15 was isolated from bovine fetus, while B. anthracis strain Brazilian vaccinal was recovered from a commercial vaccine. We report here the genome sequences of both strains. The SPV842_15 genome is composed of a single circular chromosome with a length of 5,228,6...

Complete genome sequence of human pathogen Kosakonia cowanii type strain 888-76T

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT Kosakonia cowanii type strain 888-76T is a human pathogen which was originally isolated from blood as NIH group 42. In this study, we report the complete genome sequence of K. cowanii 888-76T. 888-76T has 1 chromosome and 2 plasmids with a total genome size of 4,857,567 bp and C+G 56.15%. This g...

Whole-genome sequencing of Leptospira interrogans from southern Brazil: genetic features of a highly virulent strain

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 113 (2), 2018
BACKGROUND Leptospirosis is the most widespread zoonotic disease. It is caused by infection with pathogenic Leptospira species, of which over 300 serovars have been described. The accurate identification of the causative Leptospira spp. is required to ascertain the pathogenic status of the local isolates...

Genome misclassification of Klebsiella variicola and Klebsiella quasipneumoniae isolated from plants, animals and humans

Salud pública Méx; 60 (1), 2018
Abstract: Objective: Due to the fact that K. variicola, K. quasipneumoniae and K. pneumoniae are closely related bacterial species, misclassification can occur due to mistakes either in normal biochemical tests or during submission to public databases. The objective of this work was to identify K. vari...

Klebsiella variicola and Klebsiella quasipneumoniae with capacity to adapt to clinical and plant settings

Salud pública Méx; 60 (1), 2018
Abstract: Objective: To compare the genetic determinants involved in plant colonization or virulence in the reported genomes of K. variicola, K. quasipneumoniae and K. pneumoniae. Materials and methods: In silico comparisons and Jaccard analysis of genomic data were used. Fimbrial genes were detected...

Comparative genomics of pathogenic Leptospira interrogans serovar Canicola isolated from swine and human in Brazil

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 113 (2), 2018
Leptospira interrogans serovar Canicola is one of the most important pathogenic serovars for the maintenance of urban leptospirosis. Even though it is considered highly adapted to dogs, serovar Canicola infection has already been described in other animals and even a few human cases. Here, we present the...

Differential proteomics research of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and its genome-shuffled saltant for improving fengycin production

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (supl.1), 2018
Abstract In the previous study, we used genome shuffling to improve fengycin production of the original strain Bacillus amyloliquefaciens ES-2-4. After two rounds of genome shuffling, a high-yield recombinant FMB72 strain that exhibited 8.30-fold increase in fengycin production was obtained. In this stud...

Whole genome sequence of Mycobacterium kansasii isolates of the genotype 1 from Brazilian patients with pulmonary disease demonstrates considerable heterogeneity

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 113 (9), 2018
Mycobacterium kansasii is an opportunistic pathogen and one of the most commonly encountered species in individuals with lung disease. We here report the complete genome sequence of 12 clinical isolates of M. kansasii from patients with pulmonary disease in Brazil....
