The key genes required forBacillus anthracisto cause anthrax have been acquired recently by horizontal gene transfer. To understand the genetic background for the evolution ofB. anthracisvirulence, we obtained high-redundancy genome sequences of 45 strains of theBacillus cereussensu lato (s.l.) species that were chosen for their genetic diversity within the species based on the existing multilocus sequence t

ABSTRACT Rhizobium sp. strain IRBG74 is the first known nitrogen-fixing symbiont in the Agrobacterium/Rhizobium clade that nodulates the aquatic legume Sesbania sp. and is also a growth-promoting endophyte of wetland rice. Here, we present the sequence of the IRBG74 genome, which is composed of a circu

AbstractBackgroundSuccinate is produced petrochemically from maleic anhydride to satisfy a small specialty chemical market. If succinate could be produced fermentatively at a price competitive with that of maleic anhydride, though, it could replace maleic anhydride as the precursor of many bulk chemicals, transforming a multi-billion dollar petrochemical market into one based on renewable resources.Actinobacillus su

ABSTRACT Paenibacillus mucilaginosus is a critical growth-improving silicate bacterium. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of P. mucilaginosus strain KNP414. This information will provide us with the opportunity to understand its molecular mechanisms and develop more effective utilization of the stra

Gordonia bronchialis Tsukamura 1971 is the type species of the genus. G. bronchialis is a human-pathogenic organism that has been isolated from a large variety of human tissues. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. This is the first completed genome sequence of the family Gordoniaceae. The 5,290,012 bp long genome with its 4,944 protein-coding and 55 RNA genes is part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project

ABSTRACT Pseudomonas sp. strain MT-1 was the first deep-sea denitrifier isolated and characterized from mud recovered from a depth of 11,000 m in the Mariana Trench. We report here the genome sequence of this bacterium, which contributes to our understanding of denitrification and bioenergetics in the deep sea.

Summary This Article addresses the issue of translating current international law norms and principles onto the borderless realm—cyberspace. This Article provides an overview of the United States’ and Russia’s approach to defend against a cyberattack. This Article concludes with an original, new test that resolves the discrepancies between all existing approaches to determine whether or not a cyber act is in fact an armed attack.
