Amplicons, Metagenomes, and Metatranscriptomes from Sediment and Water.

High fecal indicator bacterium (FIB) counts in water have been found to correlate with high sediment FIB counts. To determine the other bacterial populations in common between the two substrates, sediment and water samples from suburban waters known to be impacted by stormwater runoff were examined using next-generation sequencing.

Taxonomic Profiling of Microbes in Glyphosate-Treated Sediment Microcosms.

Here, we report the impact of glyphosate on bacterial populations in sediment microcosms, determined using 16S amplicon sequencing and shotgun metagenomics with source material from a suburban creek. The 16S amplicon and metagenomic data reveal that members of the genus Pseudomonas are increased by the treatment.

Complete Genome Sequences of Two Mycobacterium smegmatis Bacteriophages.

Mycobacterium smegmatis, an acid-fast bacterial species in the phylum Actinobacteria, has often been used as a substitute for pathogenic mycobacteria in research. Here, we describe the isolation and characterization of two M. smegmatis bacteriophages, Penelope2018 and Miniwave.
