Vibrio vulnificus, a ubiquitous inhabitant of coastal marine environments, has been isolated from a variety of sources. It is an opportunistic pathogen of both marine animals and humans. Here, the genome sequence of V. vulnificus Env1, an environmental isolate resistant to predation by the ciliate Tetrahymena pyriformis, is reported. Copyright © 2018 Noorian et al.
Pseudomonas stutzeri strain SGAir0442 was isolated from tropical air samples collected in Singapore. It is a Gram-negative denitrifying bacterium and an opportunistic human pathogen. Its complete genome consists of one chromosome of 4.52?Mb, containing 4,129 protein-coding genes, 12 rRNA subunits, and 62 tRNAs. Copyright © 2018 Kee et al.
The complete genome of Pseudoalteromonas sp. strain SAO4-4, a protease-producing bacterium from seawater, is composed of two circular chromosomes and one plasmid. This genome sequence will provide a better understanding of the ecological roles of protease-producing bacteria in the degradation of organic matter in marine aquatic environments.

Here, we report the complete genome sequence of the pathogenic Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. masoucida strain RFAS1, isolated from black rockfish and showing signs of furunculosis. Sequencing with the PacBio platform yielded a circular chromosome of 4,783,004?bp and two plasmids (70,968?bp and 63,563?bp) harboring 4,411, 67, and 71 protein-coding genes, respectively.

Melissococcus plutonius is the causative agent of European foulbrood, and its isolates were believed to be remarkably genetically homogeneous. However, recent epidemiological and pathogenic studies have shown this pathogen to be more heterogeneous than expected. Herein, we present the whole-genome sequence of M. plutonius DAT561, a representative atypical strain. Copyright © 2018 Okumura et al.
Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Lactobacillus reuteri WHH1689, which was isolated from traditional Chinese highland barley wine in the Tibetan Plateau of China. The genome consists of a circular chromosome (2.04 Mb). Copyright © 2018 Chen et al.
We report here the complete genome sequence of Klebsiella quasipneumoniae strain S05, a bacterium capable of producing membrane fouling-causing soluble substances and capable of respiring on oxygen, nitrate, and an anodic electrode. The genomic information of strain S05 should help predict metabolic pathways associated with these unique biological properties of this bacterium. Copyright © 2018 Kitajima et al.
Achromobacter spanius is a newly described, non-fermenting, Gram-negative, coccoid pathogen isolated from human blood. Whole-genome sequencing of the A. spanius type strain was performed to investigate the mechanism of pathogenesis of this strain at a genomic level.The complete genome of A. spanius type strain DSM 23806T was sequenced using single-molecule real-time (SMRT) DNA sequencing.The complete genome of DSM 23806T consists of one circular DNA chromosome of 6425783bp with a G+C content of 64.26%. The entire genome contains 5804 predicted coding sequences (CDS) and 55 tRNAs. Genomic island (GI) analysis showed that this strain encodes several important pathogenesis- and resistance-related genes.These results strongly suggest that GIs provide some fitness advantages in A. spanius type strain DSM 23806T. This report provides an extensive understanding of A. spanius at a genomic level as well as an understanding of the evolution of A. spanius.

Serratia marcescens strain SGAir0764 was isolated from a tropical air sample collected in Singapore. The complete genome, sequenced on the PacBio RS II platform, consists of one chromosome with 5.1?Mb and one plasmid with 76.4?kb. Genome annotation predicts 4,723 protein-coding genes, 89 tRNAs, and 22 rRNAs. Copyright © 2018 Gaultier et al.
Rhizobia are a paraphyletic group of soil-borne bacteria that induce nodule organogenesis in legume roots and fix atmospheric nitrogen for plant growth. In non-leguminous plants, species from the Rhizobiales order define a core lineage of the plant microbiota, suggesting additional functional interactions with plant hosts. In this work, genome analyses of 1,314 Rhizobiales isolates along with amplicon studies of the root microbiota reveal the evolutionary history of nitrogen-fixing symbiosis in this bacterial order. Key symbiosis genes were acquired multiple times, and the most recent common ancestor could colonize roots of a broad host range. In addition, root growth promotion is a characteristic trait of Rhizobiales in Arabidopsis thaliana, whereas interference with plant immunity constitutes a separate, strain-specific phenotype of root commensal Alphaproteobacteria. Additional studies with a tripartite gnotobiotic plant system reveal that these traits operate in a modular fashion and thus might be relevant to microbial homeostasis in healthy roots.

Vitreoscilla sp. strain C1 is of historical importance as the source of the first prokaryotic hemoglobin identified. Vitreoscilla spp. rely on their hemoglobin and cytochrome oxidase to grow in microaerobic environments despite their aerobic nature. To help characterize this historically relevant strain, we sequenced the complete Vitreoscilla sp. strain C1 genome.
