Phytoseius litoralis n. sp., a member of the horridus species group, is described from the State of Rio Grande do Sul, in southern Brazil, based on specimens collected on Psidium guajava, Solanum concinnum and Cecropia pachystachya. This is the first species of the horridus group described from Brazil. A key to species of Phytoseius reported from Brazil is provided.

During the preparation of treatment genus Phacelia for Flora Argentina project, several names were found in need typification. In this context lectotypes are designated 17 names: Aldea pinnata, Eutoca frigida, E. litoralis, lomarifolia, pinnatifida, pusilla, Hydrophyllum magellanicum, boliviana, P. foliosa, magellanica fo. amoena, plantaginea, nana, pinnatifida var. elatior, sanzinii, sinuata a...

Marinobacter sp. strain ANT_B65 was isolated from sponge collected in King George Island, Antarctica. The draft genome of 4,173,840 bp encodes 3,743 protein-coding open reading frames. The genome will provide insights into the strain's potential use in the production of natural products.

A Gram-stain-negative, motile, non-spore-forming and short rod- or rod-shaped bacterial strain, T-w6(T), was isolated from seawater of an oyster farm in the South Sea, Korea. Strain T-w6(T) grew optimally at 25 °C and in the presence of 2% (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain T-w6(T) joined the cluster comprising Oceanisphaera species with a bo...

Marinobacter nanhaiticus strain D15-8W(T) was isolated from a phenanthrene-degrading consortium, enriched from sediment of the South China Sea. Here, we present the draft genome of strain D15-8W(T), which contains 5,358,309 bp with a G+C content of 58.53% and contains 4,829 protein-coding genes and 47 tRNA genes.

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Marinobacter hydrocarbonoclasticus strain STW2, which was isolated from the rhizosphere of seagrass Enhalus acodoides This study will facilitate future studies on the genetic pathways of marine microbes capable of both polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon degradation and nitrate reduction.

Marinobacter sp. CP1 was isolated from a self-regenerating and self-sustaining biocathode biofilm that can fix CO2 and generate electric current. We present the complete genome sequence of this strain, which consists of a circular 4.8-Mbp chromosome, to understand the mechanism of extracellular electron transfer in a microbial consortium.
