Here, we present the closed genome sequences of nine representative clinical Listeria monocytogenes isolates from nine invasive listeriosis outbreaks in Germany that were associated with contaminated salmon products. More than half of the genomes contained two or more intact prophages.

Ice and water microbial communities from Lake Winnipeg were explored through V4 region 16S rRNA gene sequencing during a pronounced period of cold temperatures over North America's Great Plains and Great Lakes regions. Diatoms, cyanobacteria, and Xanthomonadales (Gammaproteobacteria) displayed patterns of partitioning into ice fractions.

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.

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.

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.
