Complete Genome Sequence of a Novel Porcine Circovirus Type 3 Strain, CH/GX/1776D/2017, Isolated from Guangxi, China.

Porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) was first described in 2016 in U.S. swine herds as a pathogenic agent for pigs. To date, PCV3 has been reported to be widely circulating in the United States, China, South Korea, Brazil, Italy, and Poland. Here, we report the genome sequence of a PCV3 strain (CH/GX/1776D/2017) isolated from Guangxi Province in southern China. The sequence data presented in this study will help us better understand the molecular characteristics and genetic diversity of PCV3 in China.

[Formation of blood resin in abiotic Dracaena cochinchinensis inoculated with Fusarium 9568D].

Fusarium 9568D, which belongs to Fusarium moniliforme, was isolated from the roots of Dracaena cochinchinensis in the suburb of Monglian, Yunnan Province of China. High activities of beta-glucosidase and cellulase were detected in the broth of Fusarium 9568D. The strain was inoculated in abiotic branch and wood of Dracaena cochinchinensis. After 4-5 months of culture, red resin emerged in the inoculated points. UV-IR spectrum analysis and antibiotic assay demonstrated that this resin almost resembled the natural blood resin.
