Here, we announce the complete genome sequence of the Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium strain DSM 44156, also deposited as ATCC 25291 and TMC 724. The reference strain was originally described as a serotype 2 strain isolated from a hen by F. D. Chester in 1901.

Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Akkermansia muciniphila JCM 30893 harboring the plasmid pJ30893. Copyright © 2020 Ogata et al.Leptospirosis is a worldwide zoonosis caused by pathogenic species of Leptospira In Brazil, this disease is endemic, presenting epidemic potential in rainy seasons. Here, we announce the whole-genome sequences of two L. interrogans serovar Copenhageni strains isolated from blood samples from two icteric patients associated with severe leptospirosis in Brazil. Copyright © 2020 Trindade et al.We report the draft genome sequence of Variovorax boronicumulans strain HAB-30, which was isolated from a phenol-degrading chemostat culture. This strain contains genes encoding a multicomponent type of phenol hydroxylase, with degradation pathways for catechol and other aromatic compounds. The genome sequence will be useful for understanding the metabolic pathways involved in phenol degradation. Copyright © 2020 Aziz et al.Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the Paenibacillus polymyxa 3A-25AI strain, isolated from the rhizosphere of wild grass. This strain inhibits Phytophthora capsici and Rhizoctonia solani phytopathogens. The genome size is 5.6 Mb, with a G+C content of 45.59%, and contains 5,079 genes, 4,968 coding DNA sequences (CDSs), 35 tRNAs, 3 rRNAs, and 72 unexpected miscellaneous RNA (miscRNA) features. Copyright © 2020 López-Martínez et al.A fish-pathogenic bacterium, Enterococcus faecalis strain BFFF11, was isolated from a tilapia suffering from streptococcosis in a fish farm in the Gazipur district of Bangladesh. The whole genome of this strain, BFFF11, was 3,067,042 bp, with a GC content of 37.4%. Copyright © 2020 Akter et al.The draft genome sequence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa LMG 1272, isolated from mushroom, is reported here. This strain triggers formation of a precipitate ("white line") when cocultured with Pseudomonas tolaasii However, LMG 1272 lacks the capacity to produce a cyclic lipopeptide that is typically associated with white line formation, suggesting the involvement of a different diffusible factor. Copyright © 2020 Salari et al.Cases of human infection with a swine influenza A virus variant have been reported in the United States, and since 2011, H3N2 variant viruses have also been regularly isolated from swine in the Republic of Korea. Here, we genetically characterized an influenza A H3N2 isolate (A/swine/P17-4/2017). BLASTN analysis of the 8 gene sequences revealed a high degree of nucleotide similarity (97.0 to 99.0%) to porcine strains circulating in the Republic of Korea and the United States. Specifically, we found a high degree of similarity in the nucleotide matrix gene to those of recent isolates from North Carolina. Therefore, continuous epidemiological surveillance is necessary to monitor the variation and evolution of influenza A viruses. Copyright © 2020 Noh et al.Four wild-type Campylobacter jejuni strains isolated from the cecal contents of broiler chickens were sequenced. The average genome size was 1,622,170 bp, with 1,667 to 1,761 coding sequences and 47 to 51 RNAs. Multiple genes encoding motility, intestinal colonization, toxin production, stress tolerance, and multidrug resistance were present in all the strains.We report the draft genome sequences of three Francisella tularensis subsp. mediasiatica strains isolated in the Altai Territory, Russian Federation. Copyright © 2020 Mokrievich et al.The whole genome of Saccharibacillus sp. strain WB 17, a bacterial strain isolated from wheat phyllosphere, has been sequenced. This microorganism is equipped with several carbohydrate-active enzymes, which would explain its ability to fractionate lignocellulose. Copyright © 2020 Besaury and Remond.Here, we report the 4.34-Mb draft genome assembly of Bacillus marisflavi CK-NBRI-03 (or P3), a Gram-positive bacterium, with an average G+C content of 48.66%. P3 was isolated from agricultural soil from the Badaun (midwestern plain zone) region of Uttar Pradesh, India. Copyright © 2020 Gupta et al.Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Staphylococcus pseudintermedius strain 13-13613, isolated from a case of canine pyoderma. The draft genome contains 2,533,486 bp in 570 contigs. Copyright © 2020 Eichhorn et al.The bacterium Flavobacteriaceae strain W22 was isolated from the water column of a tree hole larval habitat of the mosquito Aedes triseriatus The draft genome contained 3,796,379 bp, a G+C content of 35.4%, and several genes encoding enzymes functioning in polysaccharide degradation, gliding motility, and the type IX protein secretion system (T9SS).

The genetic heterogeneity of L. reuteri is likely to contribute to differences in ecological performance within a host. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of 12 L. reuteri strains of rodent origin. Copyright © 2020 Zhang et al.Sex determination of germ cells is vital to creating the sexual dichotomy of germ cell development, thereby ensuring sexual reproduction. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we show that ZGLP1, a conserved transcriptional regulator with GATA-like zinc fingers, determines the oogenic fate in mice. ZGLP1 acts downstream of bone morphogenetic protein, but not retinoic acid (RA), and is essential for the oogenic program and meiotic entry. ZGLP1 overexpression induces differentiation of in vitro primordial germ cell-like cells (PGCLCs) into fetal oocytes by activating the oogenic programs repressed by Polycomb activities, whereas RA signaling contributes to oogenic program maturation and PGC program repression. Our findings elucidate the mechanism for mammalian oogenic fate determination, providing a foundation for promoting in vitro gametogenesis and reproductive medicine. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/a1874.html Copyright © 2020 The Authors, some rights reserved; exclusive licensee American Association for the Advancement of Science.
