Abstract

Acetylene fermentation is a rare metabolism that was serendipitously discovered during C 2 H 2 -block assays of N 2 O reductase. Here, we report the genome sequences of two type strains of acetylene-fermenting Pelobacter acetylenicus , the freshwater bacterium DSM 3246 and the estuarine bacterium DSM 3247.

Draft genome sequence of a picorna-like virus associated with gill tissue in clinically normal brook trout, Salvelinus fontinalis

Here, we report a draft genome sequence of a picorna-like virus associated with brook trout, Salvelinus fontinalis , gill tissue. The draft genome comprises 8,681 nucleotides, excluding the poly(A) tract, and contains two open reading frames. It is most similar to picorna-like viruses that infect invertebrates.

Use of multiple sequencing technologies to produce a high-quality genome of the fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans , the causative agent of bat White-Nose syndrome

White-Nose syndrome has recently emerged as one of the most devastating wildlife diseases recorded, causing widespread mortality in numerous bat species throughout eastern North America. Here, we present an improvised reference genome of the fungal pathogen Pseudogymnoascus destructans for use in comparative genomic studies.
