Streptomyces sp. P3 was isolated from potato scab diseased tubers in Pyeongchang, Gangwon-do, Republic of Korea in 2017. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of P3 with 9,851,971 bp size (71.2% GC content) of the chromosome. The genome comprises 8,548 CDS, 18 rRNA and 66 tRNA genes. Although strain P3 did not show pathogenicity both potato tuber assay and radish seedling assay, it possesses tomatinase (tomA) gene among conserved pathogenicity-related genes in well characterized pathogenic Streptomyces. Thus, the genome sequences determined in this study will be useful to understand for pathogenic evolution in Streptomyces species, which already adapted to potato scab pathogens.

Streptomyces sp. strain SW4 exhibited broad-spectrum antibacterial activity toward Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens. The 7.5-Mb draft genome se- quence gives insight into the complete secondary metabolite production capacity and reveals genes putatively responsible for its antibacterial activity.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains with favorable characteristics are preferred for application in industries. However, the current ability to reprogram a yeast cell on the genome scale is limited due to the complexity of yeast ploids. In this study, a method named genome replication engineering-assisted continuous evolution (GREACE) was proved efficient in engineering S. cerevisiae with different ploids. Through iterative cycles of culture coupled with selection, GREACE could continuously improve the target traits of yeast by accumulating beneficial genetic modification in genome. The application of GREACE greatly improved the tolerance of yeast against acetic acid compared with their parent strain. This method could also be employed to improve yeast aroma profile and the phenotype could be stably inherited to the offspring. Therefore, GREACE method was efficient in S. cerevisiae engineering and it could be further used to evolve yeast with other specific characteristics.
Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis is a pathogenic bacterium causing postharvest decay of the cultivated mushroom Pleurotus eryngii, whose pathogenic mechanism is little known. Sequencing of its complete genome is a prerequisite for revealing the molecular mechanism of infection. In this research, the complete genome of SLPE1-3 was obtained using the Single Molecular Real Time (SMRT) sequencing strategy. The genome was analyzed both structurally and functionally. The complete genome of SLPE1-3 consists of a single, circular chromosome (2,522,493 bp; 34.91% GC content) without any plasmid. The results showed the feasibility and superiority of SMRT in bacterial complete-genome research. The genome of SLPE1-3 has the specific features of L. lactis subsp. lactis not just in the phylogenesis and genome structure, but also in functional classification. Compared with L. lactis subsp. lactis IL1403, L. lactis subsp. cremoris MG1363 and L. lactis subsp. lactis KF147, 23 peculiar genes were identified in SLPE1-3 which were involved in lipid metabolism, cell wall biogenesis and some functional enzymes. In addition, 37 potential genes relating to antifungal function were filtered for further mechanism research.
Genome resequencing of D-lactic acid-producing Leuconostoc mesenteroides ATCC 8293 revealed 28 base errors in the version published in the 2017. Based on the revised genome annotation, four genes encoding putative D- lactate dehydrogenases were identified. The transcriptional expression of each gene was analyzed at different growth phases and the functionality of each gene was studied in Escherichia coli. Bioreactor studies indicated that L. mesenteroides ATCC 8293 produced D-lactic acid and ethanol at a ratio of 1.7:1 (g/g) regardless of the glucose concentration.
Halophilic microorganisms have great potentials towards biotechnological applications. Halomonas hydrothermalis Y2 is a halotolerant and alkaliphilic strain that isolated from the Na+-rich pulp mill wastewater. The strain is dominant in the bacterial community of pulp mill wastewater and exhibits metabolic diversity in utilizing various substrates. Here we present the genome sequence of this strain, which comprises a circular chromosome 3,933,432 bp in size and a GC content of 60.2%. Diverse genes that encoding proteins for compatible solutes synthesis and transport were identified from the genome. With a complete pathway for ectoine synthesis, the strain could produce ectoine from monosodium glutamate and further partially secreted into the medium. In addition, around 20% ectoine was increased by deleting the ectoine hydroxylase (EctD). The genome sequence we report here will provide genetic information regarding adaptive mechanisms of strain Y2 to its harsh habitat, as well as facilitate exploration of metabolic strategies for diverse compatible solutes, e.g., ectoine production.

A new actinobacteria Streptomyces cavourensis TJ430 was isolated from the mountain soil collected from the southwest of China. In previous study, TJ430 showed striking bactericidal activities and strong ability of antibiotic production. Here, we report complete genome of this bacterium, consisting of 7.6?Mb linear chromosome and 0.2?Mb plasmids. It was predicted 6450 genes in chromosome and 225 genes in plasmids, as well as 12 gene islands in chromosome. Abundant genes have predicted functions in antibiotic metabolism and stress resistance. A whole-genome comparison of S. cavourensis TJ430, S. coelicolor A3(2), and S. lividans 66 indicates that TJ430 has a relatively high degree of strain specificity. The 16S rRNA phylogenetic tree shows the high identities (99.79%) of TJ430 with S. cavourensis DSM40300. TJ430 is a new and rare Streptomyces species, and analysis of its genome helps us to better understand primary metabolism mechanism of this isolate, as well as the evolutionary biology.© 2018 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Genes prot6E and sefA are used as targets for detection of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis (Salmonella ser. Enteritidis). We investigated variations in these genes across 64 different Salmonella ser. Enteritidis strains isolated from egg and chicken samples, then used Whole Genome Sequence (WGS) data to model the structures of their protein products. Isolates were sequenced using Illumina technologies. Based on the resulting phylogenetic tree, our isolates clustered in 2 distinct clades. All isolates carried prot6E and sefA. Comparative genomic analyses indicated two non-synonymous mutations (Glycine ? Serine and Valine ? Isoleucine) of prot6E in 11 isolates (9 egg samples, 2 chicken samples). However, SWISS-MODEL was unable to clearly model the protein structure of these two mutations. We identified one non-synonymous mutation (Valine ? Glutamic Acid) in the sefA gene in 4 isolates from egg samples. The model for the protein structure of this mutant gene was clearly different from that of the other isolates studied herein. Circular maps of plasmid genomes from two PacBio platform-sequenced Salmonella ser. Enteritidis isolates revealed prot6E gene was located on the tail of the plasmid. Based on the biosynthesis of amino acids – Reference pathway in the KEGG pathway Database, the transition of amino acid from sefA Var. was a transversion from essential amino acid to non-essential amino acid, while that of prot6E Var.1 happened between the conditionally non-essential amino acid, and prot6E Var. 2 occurred between essential amino acids. Properties of these mutated amino acids, such as side-chain polarity or charge, may contribute to the occurrence and rate of mutations in prot6E and sefA. These insights can be used to improve detection methods for Salmonella ser. Enteritidis.
