    Description: The 2,160,837-base pair genome sequence of an isolate of Streptococcus pneumoniae, a Gram-positive pathogen that causes pneumonia, bacteremia, meningitis, and otitis media, contains 2236 predicted coding regions; of these, 1440 (64%) were assigned a biological role. Approximately 5% of the genome is composed of insertion sequences that may contribute to genome rearrangements through uptake of foreign DNA. Extracellular enzyme systems for the metabolism of polysaccharides and hexosamines provide a substantial source of carbon and nitrogen for S. pneumoniae and also damage host tissues and facilitate colonization. A motif identified within the signal peptide of proteins is potentially involved in targeting these proteins to the cell surface of low-guanine/cytosine (GC) Gram-positive species. Several surface-exposed proteins that may serve as potential vaccine candidates were identified. Comparative genome hybridization with DNA arrays revealed strain differences in S. pneumoniae that could contribute to differences in virulence and antigenicity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tettelin, H -- Nelson, K E -- Paulsen, I T -- Eisen, J A -- Read, T D -- Peterson, S -- Heidelberg, J -- DeBoy, R T -- Haft, D H -- Dodson, R J -- Durkin, A S -- Gwinn, M -- Kolonay, J F -- Nelson, W C -- Peterson, J D -- Umayam, L A -- White, O -- Salzberg, S L -- Lewis, M R -- Radune, D -- Holtzapple, E -- Khouri, H -- Wolf, A M -- Utterback, T R -- Hansen, C L -- McDonald, L A -- Feldblyum, T V -- Angiuoli, S -- Dickinson, T -- Hickey, E K -- Holt, I E -- Loftus, B J -- Yang, F -- Smith, H O -- Venter, J C -- Dougherty, B A -- Morrison, D A -- Hollingshead, S K -- Fraser, C M -- R01 AI40645-01A1/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2001 Jul 20;293(5529):498-506.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR), 9712 Medical Center Drive, Rockville, MD 20850, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11463916" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The complete genome sequence of the radiation-resistant bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans R1 is composed of two chromosomes (2,648,638 and 412,348 base pairs), a megaplasmid (177,466 base pairs), and a small plasmid (45,704 base pairs), yielding a total genome of 3,284, 156 base pairs. Multiple components distributed on the chromosomes and megaplasmid that contribute to the ability of D. radiodurans to survive under conditions of starvation, oxidative stress, and high amounts of DNA damage were identified. Deinococcus radiodurans represents an organism in which all systems for DNA repair, DNA damage export, desiccation and starvation recovery, and genetic redundancy are present in one cell.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4147723/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4147723/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉White, O -- Eisen, J A -- Heidelberg, J F -- Hickey, E K -- Peterson, J D -- Dodson, R J -- Haft, D H -- Gwinn, M L -- Nelson, W C -- Richardson, D L -- Moffat, K S -- Qin, H -- Jiang, L -- Pamphile, W -- Crosby, M -- Shen, M -- Vamathevan, J J -- Lam, P -- McDonald, L -- Utterback, T -- Zalewski, C -- Makarova, K S -- Aravind, L -- Daly, M J -- Minton, K W -- Fleischmann, R D -- Ketchum, K A -- Nelson, K E -- Salzberg, S -- Smith, H O -- Venter, J C -- Fraser, C M -- R01 CA077712/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Nov 19;286(5444):1571-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute for Genomic Research, 9712 Medical Center Drive, Rockville, MD 20850, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10567266" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Only five bacterial phyla with members capable of chlorophyll (Chl)-based phototrophy are presently known. Metagenomic data from the phototrophic microbial mats of alkaline siliceous hot springs in Yellowstone National Park revealed the existence of a distinctive bacteriochlorophyll (BChl)-synthesizing, phototrophic bacterium. A highly enriched culture of this bacterium grew photoheterotrophically, synthesized BChls a and c under oxic conditions, and had chlorosomes and type 1 reaction centers. "Candidatus Chloracidobacterium thermophilum" is a BChl-producing member of the poorly characterized phylum Acidobacteria.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bryant, Donald A -- Costas, Amaya M Garcia -- Maresca, Julia A -- Chew, Aline Gomez Maqueo -- Klatt, Christian G -- Bateson, Mary M -- Tallon, Luke J -- Hostetler, Jessica -- Nelson, William C -- Heidelberg, John F -- Ward, David M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2007 Jul 27;317(5837):523-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA. dab14@psu.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17656724" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Dehalococcoides ethenogenes is the only bacterium known to reductively dechlorinate the groundwater pollutants, tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene, to ethene. Its 1,469,720-base pair chromosome contains large dynamic duplicated regions and integrated elements. Genes encoding 17 putative reductive dehalogenases, nearly all of which were adjacent to genes for transcription regulators, and five hydrogenase complexes were identified. These findings, plus a limited repertoire of other metabolic modes, indicate that D. ethenogenes is highly evolved to utilize halogenated organic compounds and H2. Diversification of reductive dehalogenase functions appears to have been mediated by recent genetic exchange and amplification. Genome analysis provides insights into the organism's complex nutrient requirements and suggests that an ancestor was a nitrogen-fixing autotroph.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Seshadri, Rekha -- Adrian, Lorenz -- Fouts, Derrick E -- Eisen, Jonathan A -- Phillippy, Adam M -- Methe, Barbara A -- Ward, Naomi L -- Nelson, William C -- Deboy, Robert T -- Khouri, Hoda M -- Kolonay, James F -- Dodson, Robert J -- Daugherty, Sean C -- Brinkac, Lauren M -- Sullivan, Steven A -- Madupu, Ramana -- Nelson, Karen E -- Kang, Katherine H -- Impraim, Marjorie -- Tran, Kevin -- Robinson, Jeffrey M -- Forberger, Heather A -- Fraser, Claire M -- Zinder, Stephen H -- Heidelberg, John F -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Jan 7;307(5706):105-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute for Genomic Research, 9712 Medical Center Drive, Rockville, MD 20850, USA. rekha@tigr.org〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15637277" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
