چکیده
Bacteria from the Bacillus cereus group exhibit genetic and physiological diversity through different ecotypes. Here, we present the draft genome sequences of 20 bacterial strains belonging to the contrasted psychrotolerant and thermotolerant ecotypes.

Draft Genome Sequences from a Novel Clade of Bacillus cereus Sensu Lato Strains, Isolated from the International Space Station
The draft genome sequences of six Bacillus strains, isolated from the International Space Station and belonging to the Bacillus anthracis-B. cereus-B. thuringiensis group, are presented here. These strains were isolated from the Japanese Experiment Module (one strain), U.S. Harmony Node 2 (three strains), and Russian Segment Zvezda Module (two strains).
متن کاملTwo distinct types of rRNA operons in the Bacillus cereus group.
The Bacillus cereus group includes insecticidal bacteria (B. thuringiensis), food-borne pathogens (B. cereus and B. weihenstephanensis) and B. anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax. The precise number of rRNA operons in 12 strains of the B. cereus group was determined. Most of the tested strains possess 13 operons and the tested psychrotolerant strains contain 14 operons, the highest number...
متن کاملBacillus cereus Sensu Lato Genomes: Basis for Identifying Anthrax Disease Strain Sources
Why would one want to sequence the genomes of 94 additional, mostly soil and water isolates of Bacillus cereus sensu lato (1)? The answer is of course to be able to make a rapid analysis during a bioterrorism event, to develop a portable kit for the rapid identification of anthrax spores (by proteomic analysis), and to determine their precise origin (by means of DNA genomic polymorphisms). The ...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequences of Enterotoxigenic Bacillus cereus Strains Obtained from Powdered Infant Formula
We introduce the draft genome sequences of five enterotoxigenic Bacillus cereus strains: Bc 12, Bc 67, Bc 111, Bc 112, and Bc 113, which were obtained from powdered infant formula. The genome sizes of the strains ranged from 5.5 to 5.8 Mb, and the G+C contents were ~35.2%.
متن کاملCrystalliferous Bacillus cereus group bacteria from a Maryland hardwood forest are dominated by psychrotolerant strains
Crystal-forming bacteria of the Bacillus cereus group were isolated from soil samples collected at different elevations within a mixed hardwood forest in central Maryland, and their phylogenetic relationships determined by multilocus sequence analysis. The vast majority of isolates obtained were associated with two phylogenetic groups known to be psychrotolerant, with very few isolates represen...
