Using Nanopore Q20+ sequencing, we report the complete genome of Allorhizobium ( Agrobacterium ) vitis strain CG957=AA25, isolated nearly 40 years ago from a grapevine crown gall in Afghanistan. The assembled genome size is 6 Mb, comprising a circular chromosome, a linear chromid, a Ti plasmid, and two non-Ti plasmids., Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest.

We report the complete genome sequence of Agrobacterium leguminum strain EL101, isolated from the tree bark of Khaya senegalensis in Kampar, Perak, Malaysia, obtained using Q20+ Nanopore Sequencing chemistry. The assembled genome has a total length of 5,324,685 bp, comprising a circular chromosome, a linear chromid, and two non-Ti circular plasmids., Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest.

We present the whole-genome sequence of four bacterial endophytes associated with German hardneck garlic cloves ( Allium sativum L.). Among them, Agrobacterium fabrum and Pantoea agglomerans are associated with plant protection, while Rahnella perminowiae and Stenotrophomonas lactitubi are pathogens. These data will facilitate the identification of genes to improve garlic., Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest.

We present the whole-genome sequences of five endophytic bacteria isolated from Musa balbisiana seeds. These strains represent five different genera: Bacillus, Brachybacterium, Enterobacter, Enterococcus, and Pantoea . Among these, three genera ( Bacillus , Pantoea , and Enterobacter ) were previously recognized for their antagonistic effects against Fusarium wilt, a highly destructive disease that affects banana plants., Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest.

Here, we report the genome assemblies of 11 endophytic bacteria, isolated from poison ivy vine (Toxicodendron radicans). Five species belonging to the genus Pseudomonas, two species of Curtobacterium , one strain of Pantoea agglomerans, and one species from the Bacillus , Cellulomonas , and Enterobacter genera were isolated from the interior tissue of poison ivy.

Here, we report the nearly complete genome sequences of nine severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants with the D614G mutation. These viruses were detected from various infected individuals with different levels of severity from Pahang, Malaysia. In addition, this study described the presence of lineage B.1.351 as a type of variant of concern (VOC) and lineages B.1.466.2 and B.1.524 as local variants.

We sequenced four severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) genomes from Malaysia during the second wave of infection and found unique mutations which suggest local evolution. Circulating Malaysian strains represent introductions from different countries, particularly during the first wave of infection. Genome sequencing is important for understanding local epidemiology., (Copyright © 2020 Chong et al.)

In this study, we report the isolation, identification, characterization, and whole-genome sequence of the endophyte Pantoea sp. strain RIT388, isolated from Distemonanthus benthamianus , a plant known for its antifungal and antibacterial properties that is commonly used for chewing sticks., (Copyright © 2020 Gan et al.)

Genomic resources remain scarce for bacteria isolated from oligotrophic caves. We sequenced the genomes of five Proteobacteria isolated from Lechuguilla Cave in New Mexico. Genome-based phylogeny indicates that each strain belongs to a distinct genus. Two Rhizobiaceae isolates possess genomic potential for the biosynthesis of acyl-homoserine lactone., (Copyright © 2019 Gan et al.)

Using Illumina and Nanopore reads, we assembled a high-quality draft genome sequence of Allorhizobium vitis K309 T (= ATCC 49767 T , = NCPPB 3554 T ), a phytopathogenic strain isolated from a grapevine in Australia. The hybrid approach generated 50% fewer contigs and a 3-fold increase in the N 50 value compared with the previous Illumina-only assembly.
