Draft Genome Sequence of the Live Vaccine Strain Brucella abortus 82.

Vaccination is a crucial part of the brucellosis eradication programs worldwide. A live vaccine strain of Brucella abortus 82 has been successfully used for the vaccination of cattle against brucellosis in the former Soviet republics for the last 39 years. Here, we report the genome sequence of Brucella abortus 82.

Draft Genome Sequence of Rhodococcus erythropolis DN1, a Crude Oil Biodegrader.

We report the 6,548-Mb genome sequence of Rhodococcus erythropolis strain DN1, isolated from the oil-contaminated soil in the Karagandy region of Kazakhstan. The draft genome sequence of strain DN1 might provide new insights into the genetic mechanisms of crude oil biodegradation.
