lls. Here, we report electrophysiological recordings from eurydendroid neurons of larval zebrafish that directly illustrate how synaptic inhibition and excitation are integrated by cerebellar output neurons in association with motor behavior. The results demonstrate that inhibitory and excitatory drive both increase during fictive swimming, but inhibition greatly exceeds excitation. Firing rates nevertheless increase, providing evidence that synaptic integration promotes cerebellar output during locomotion. The data offer a basis for comparing aspects of cerebellar coding that are conserved and that diverge across vertebrates. GSK461364 Copyright © 2020 Harmon et al.Tidal marsh and estuarine marine microbial sediment metagenomes from the Great Bay Estuary of New Hampshire were sequenced and found to be dominated by Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, and Actinobacteria. Both types of sediment contained many unclassified bacterial sequences, including the mollusk pathogen Perkinsus marinus, and detectable xenobiotic degradation and nitrogen transformation genes. Copyright © 2020 Moore et al.Here, we report the draft genome sequence of an extensively drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolate, 3485_MTB, from Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan. The genome sequence is composed of 4,836,003 bp. The genome will provide more data on the genetic variations occurring in local drug-resistant isolates. Copyright © 2020 Tarlykov et al.The genus Saccharibacter is currently understudied, with only one described species, Saccharibacter floricola, isolated from a flower. In an effort to better understand the microbes that come in contact with native bee pollinators, we isolated and sequenced four additional strains of Saccharibacter from native bees in the genera Melissodes and Anthophora These genomes range in size from 2,104,494 to 2,316,791 bp (mean, 2,246,664 bp) and contain between 1,860 and 2,167 (mean, 2,060) protein-coding genes. Copyright © 2020 Smith et al.Here, we present the draft genome sequences of two Paenibacillus strains, An7 and USDA918EY, isolated from goose feces (Bend, OR, USA) and chicken ceca (Pomona, CA, USA), respectively. These data may assist with analyses of microorganisms associated with free-ranging and commercial avian species. Copyright © 2020 Keshri et al.Escherichia coli BL21-AI is a commercially available strain possessing a phage T7-based protein-expression system. A combination of tight regulation and high yield makes it widely used for high-level expression of toxic recombinant proteins. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of BL21-AI and provide insights on its genome.The genome of New Zealand Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae isolate 90 was sequenced and assembled using an Illumina MiSeq system and combining the built-in Geneious de novo and Velvet de novo assemblers. The 1,031,345-bp-long genome harbored 711 genes with a coding percentage of 86.6. Copyright © 2020 Bridgeman et al.Clostridium butyricum is a strictly anaerobic spore-forming bacillus that is commonly present in the gut of humans. We report here the complete genome sequence of Clostridium butyricum strain DKU_butyricum 4-1, isolated from infant feces. Copyright © 2020 Bang et al.We isolated two closely related strains that belong to the Myoviridae family and infect cyanobacteria in a shallow subarctic rock basin lake. Their host was identified as a member of the Synechococcus-Cyanobium complex. Sequenced genomes of the two phages were 244,930 bp and 243,633 bp. We describe their annotation and highlight some noteworthy features. Copyright © 2020 Lévesque et al.We report here the complete genome sequence of Streptococcus ratti strain JH145. Streptococcus ratti is a cariogenic species of mutans streptococcus that has been isolated from rat and human teeth. The strain JH145, derived from strain BHT-2, is interesting for oral health because it does not produce cariogenic lactic acid but shows robust biofilm production. Copyright © 2020 Garrett et al.Vibrio cholerae is an aquatic organism and facultative human pathogen that typically resides in coastal areas and brackish water. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of V. cholerae strain RFB16, which was isolated from a freshwater lake in southwestern Pennsylvania. Copyright © 2020 Bina et al.Here, we present the complete genome sequence of a highly pathogenic strain of avian influenza A virus/domestic goose/Pavlodar/1/05 (H5N1) (GS/1/05), which belongs to clade 2.2. This strain of the influenza virus was isolated in northern Kazakhstan in 2005. Copyright © 2020 Issabek et al.Klebsiella quasipneumoniae is an emerging pathogen in human medicine. We report draft genome sequences of NDM-1- and KPC-2-producing K. quasipneumoniae strains from inpatients in Brazil. K. quasipneumoniae subsp. quasipneumoniae and K. quasipneumoniae subsp. similipneumoniae harbored broad resistomes. These data could contribute to a better understanding of acquired resistance in K. quasipneumoniae. Copyright © 2020 Fuga et al.Segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB) are well appreciated for eliciting Th17 cell immune responses. Here, we report the genome sequence of a murine isolate of SFB, which confers strong protection against rotavirus infection independent of acquired immunity. Copyright © 2020 Shi et al.The genome sequence of a baculovirus isolated from Choristoneura diversana is 122,827 bp long and contains 150 putative open reading frames (ORFs). The virus is closely related to alphabaculoviruses isolated from insect species of the genus Choristoneura. Copyright © 2020 Takatsuka.Burkholderia sp. strain THE68 is a bacterial symbiont isolated from the midgut crypts of a phytophagous stink bug, Togo hemipterus Here, we report the complete 7.98-Mb genome of this symbiont, which consists of six circular replicons containing 7,238 protein coding genes. Copyright © 2020 Takeshita et al.Antarctic cryptoendolithic communities are microbial ecosystems dwelling inside rocks of the Antarctic desert. We present the first 18 shotgun metagenomes from these communities to further characterize their composition, biodiversity, functionality, and adaptation. Future studies will integrate taxonomic and functional annotations to examine the pathways necessary for life to evolve in the extremes. Copyright © 2020 Coleine et al.
