Comparative genome analysis of Lysinibacillus B1-CDA, a bacterium that accumulates arsenics.
Previously, we reported an arsenic resistant bacterium Lysinibacillus sphaericus B1-CDA, isolated from an arsenic contaminated lands. Here, we have investigated its genetic composition and evolutionary history by using massively parallel sequencing and comparative analysis with other known Lysinibacillus genomes. Assembly of the sequencing reads revealed a genome of ~4.5 Mb in size encompassing...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of the Larvicidal Bacterium Lysinibacillus sphaericus Strain OT4b.25.
Lysinibacillus sphaericus OT4b.25 is a native Colombian strain isolated from coleopteran larvae in an oak forest near Bogotá D.C.; this strain has shown high levels of pathogenic activity against Culex quinquefasciatus larvae in laboratory assays compared to that of other members of the same species. Using Pacific Biosciences sequencing technology, we propose a chromosomal contig of 4,665,775 b...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of Lysinibacillus sphaericus WHO Reference Strain 2362
Lysinibacillus sphaericus is a species that contains strains widely used in the biological control of mosquitoes. Here, we present the complete 4.67-Mb genome of the WHO entomopathogenic reference strain L. sphaericus 2362, which is probably one of the most commercialized and studied strains. Genes coding for mosquitocidal toxin proteins were detected.
متن کاملCloning and functional analysis of an arsB gene responsible for arsenic sequestration in Lysinibacillus sphaericus MB701A VT15: Master Degree Project in Molecular Biotechnology
a ABSTRACT Arsenic contamination in environment is serious threat to all living beings. Lysinibacillus sphaericus (B1-CDA) is a Gram positive bacterium that can grow in arsenic contaminated environment. The genes responsible for arsenic resistance of this bacterium have been identified as arsB, arsC and arsR by previous researchers. In the present study, arsB was cloned from genomic DNA of B1-C...

Lysinibacillus sphaericus III(3)7 is a native Colombian strain, the first one isolated from soil samples. This strain has shown high levels of pathogenic activity against Culex quinquefaciatus larvae in laboratory assays compared to other members of the same species. Using Pacific Biosciences sequencing technology we sequenced, annotated (de novo) and described the genome of strain III(3)7, ach...
