Abstract
Staphylococcus capitis is a coagulase-negative staphylococcus (CoNS) commonly found in the human microflora. Recently, a clonal population of Staphylococcus capitis (denominated NRCS-A) was found to be a major cause of late-onset sepsis (LOS) in several neonatal intensive care units in France. Here, we report the complete genome sequence and annotation of the prototype Staphylococcus capitis NCRS-A strain CR01. The 2,504,472 bp long genome (1 chromosome and no plasmids) exhibits a G+C content of 32.81%, and contains 2,468 protein-coding and 59 tRNA genes and 4 rRNA genes.
Highlights
Bacillus algeriensis sp. nov. strain EB01T (= CSUR P857 = DSM 27334) is the type strain of B. algeriensis sp. nov
Members of Bacillus genus are ubiquitous in nature, ranging from freshwater to marine sediments and from hot springs and desert sands to Arctic soils; many strains have been isolated from the gastrointestinal tracts of various insects and animals, from vegetation and from food [3]
As a result of the recent decrease in the cost of genomic sequencing, it has been proposed that whole genome sequencing information and MALDI-TOF spectrum [13] be combined with the main phenotypic characteristics as a polyphasic approach strategy to describe new bacterial taxa [14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26]
Summary
It is a new Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, motile, indole-negative, rod shaped bacterium with rounded ends. It was isolated from a sediment sample from the hypersaline lake Ezzemoul sabkha in the Oum-ElBouaghi region in northeastern Algeria, which is an important wintering and resting site for several species of waterbirds, including the Greater Flamingo. This site is one of the Ramsar convention wetlands (http://www.ramsar.org). The genus Bacillus was created by Cohn about 142 years ago [1],and mainly comprises Gram-positive, rodshaped, aerobic or facultatively anaerobic, sporeforming bacteria. As a result of the recent decrease in the cost of genomic sequencing, it has been proposed that whole genome sequencing information and MALDI-TOF spectrum [13] be combined with the main phenotypic characteristics as a polyphasic approach strategy (taxono-genomics) to describe new bacterial taxa [14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26]
