Complete Genome Sequences of Four Isolated Bacteria from an Undergraduate Microbiology Course Using a Hybrid Assembly Approach.

Three Gram-negative bacteria and one Gram-positive bacterium were isolated from environmental samples in an undergraduate microbiology class on the basis of antibiotic resistance. Isolate DNA was purified, sequenced, and assembled using a hybrid approach. Here, we report the genomes of Acinetobacter johnsonii CSUSB1, Aeromonas hydrophila CSUSB2, Bacillus velezensis CSUSB3, and Comamonas thiooxydans CSUSB4.

Hybrid Assembly of the Quorum-Quenching Isolate Variovorax paradoxus VAI-C Genome Sequence.

Variovorax paradoxus VAI-C was isolated due to its ability to utilize acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) as the sole source of carbon, energy, and nitrogen. Here, we present a hybrid assembly of the V. paradoxus VAI-C genome sequence, consisting of a primary chromosome, a secondary chromid, and a plasmid.
