We report the complete genome sequence of Desulfoscipio sp. strain L, a putative sulfate-reducing bacterium isolated from contaminated groundwater. The genome comprises a circular chromosome of 4,259,676 bp and a 1,530-bp circular plasmid.

We report the coding-complete genome sequence of a rare severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) subvariant (LF.7.3) identified in Morocco. Genomic analysis indicates that these strains belong to the LF.7.3 sublineage, a descendant of the JN.1 variant within the Omicron lineage.
The complete mitochondrial genome of the Phytophthora litchii strain hk-1 isolated from China was assembled and annotated. The circular genome has a length of 38,126 bp and is AT-rich (78.26%). It harbors two ribosomal RNA genes, 25 transfer RNA genes, and 41 protein-coding genes.
Bacillus subtilis SNUY1, isolated from Korean fermented food, strongly inhibits Botrytis cinerea. Its 4.19 Mb genome comprises 4,164 protein-coding genes and 108 pseudogenes (4,272 CDSs) without plasmids and includes 33 antifungal-related genes. These genetic traits highlight its potential as a natural food additive to control mold growth on perishable produce.
Klebsiella pneumoniae phage vB_KpBD_211, isolated from wastewater in Dhaka, Bangladesh, has a 47,938 bp double-stranded DNA genome (57.05% GC), assembled from Illumina MiSeq data, and lacks virulence or antibiotic resistance genes, supporting its potential in MDR K. pneumoniae therapy.
We present the draft genome sequences of 32 Shewanella spp. isolated from the marine sediment in British Columbia, Canada. The sediment was collected from and near a fallowed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) farm; thus, our research highlights the uniqueness of Shewanella spp. associated with the region.
Bacillus cereus is a widely distributed gram-positive bacterium that exhibits several notable characteristics. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of B. cereus strain NBNT-070, which was isolated from the activated sludge of a wastewater treatment facility. This data will be instrumental in elucidating the ecological role of B. cereus.
PCR-generated chimeric amplicons undermine the accuracy and reliability of subsequent amplicon-sequencing analyses. AmpliFuse, a Python-based tool, simulates realistic amplicon datasets through in silico PCR, chimera formation, and read simulation. By providing biologically relevant chimera-containing amplicon reads, AmpliFuse would facilitate benchmarking of chimera-detection algorithms and workflows, advancing microbiome and AMR research.
We present a 16S rRNA analysis of the microbiota of fruit flies and their fruit and soil environments collected across a latitudinal gradient in the eastern USA. Collections varied according to fly taxonomy, location, sampling substrate, and starvation condition. These samples reveal variation in microbiota composition with several key variables.
We investigated the chemical and functional consequences of a Mycobacterium marinum strain deficient in phthiocerol dimycocerosate and phenolic glycolipid (PDIM/PGL) virulence lipids using quantitative proteomics. The significant dysregulation of 1,006 proteins and altered ESAT-6 System-1 export and virulence were measured. PDIM/PGL deficiency specifically decreased the export of proteins with low isoelectric points.
