Genomics and taxonomy of the glyphosate-degrading, copper-tolerant rhizospheric bacterium Achromobacter insolitus LCu2.

A rhizosphere strain, Achromobacter insolitus LCu2, was isolated from alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) roots. It was able to degrade of 50% glyphosate as the sole phosphorus source, and was found resistant to 10 mM copper (II) chloride, and 5 mM glyphosate-copper complexes. Inoculation of alfalfa seedlings and potato microplants with strain LCu2 promoted plant growth by 30-50%. In inoculated plants, the toxicity of the glyphosate-copper complexes to alfalfa seedlings was decreased, as compared with the noninoculated controls. The genome of A. insolitus LCu2 consisted of one circular chromosome (6,428,890 bp) and encoded 5843 protein genes and 76 RNA genes. Polyphasic taxonomic analysis showed that A. insolitus LCu2 was closely related to A. insolitus DSM23807T on the basis of the average nucleotide identity of the genomes of 22 type strains and the multilocus sequence analysis. Genome analysis revealed genes putatively responsible for (1) plant growth promotion (osmolyte, siderophore, and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase biosynthesis and auxin metabolism); (2) degradation of organophosphonates (glyphosate oxidoreductase and multiple phn clusters responsible for the transport, regulation and C-P lyase cleavage of phosphonates); and (3) tolerance to copper and other heavy metals, effected by the CopAB-CueO system, responsible for the oxidation of copper (I) in the periplasm, and by the efflux Cus system. The putative catabolic pathways involved in the breakdown of phosphonates are predicted. A. insolitus LCu2 is promising in the production of crops and the remediation of soils contaminated with organophosphonates and heavy metals.

Differential modulation of the lipoxygenase cascade during typical and latent Pectobacterium atrosepticum infections.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Plant diseases caused by Pectobacterium atrosepticum are often accompanied by extensive rot symptoms. In addition, these bacteria are able to interact with host plants without causing disease for long periods, even throughout several host plant generations. There is, to date, no information on the comparative physiology/biochemistry of symptomatic and asymptomatic plant-P. atrosepticum interactions. Typical (symptomatic) P. atrosepticum infections are associated with the induction of plant responses mediated by jasmonates, which are one of the products of the lipoxygenase cascade that gives origin to many other oxylipins with physiological activities. In this study, we compared the functioning of the lipoxygenase cascade following typical and latent (asymptomatic) infections to gain better insight into the physiological basis of the asymptomatic and antagonistic coexistence of plants and pectobacteria. METHODS: Tobacco plants were mock-inoculated (control) or infected with the wild type P. atrosepticum (typical infection) or its coronafacic acid-deficient mutant (latent infection). The expression levels of the target lipoxygenase cascade-related genes were assessed by Illumina RNA sequencing. Oxylipin profiles were analysed by GC-MS. With the aim of revising the incorrect annotation of one of the target genes, its open reading frame was cloned to obtain the recombinant protein, which was further purified and characterized using biochemical approaches. KEY RESULTS: The obtained data demonstrate that when compared to the typical infection, latent asymptomatic P. atrosepticum infection is associated with (and possibly maintained due to) decreased levels of 9-lipoxygenase branch products and jasmonic acid and increased level of cis-12-oxo-10,15-phytodienoic acid. The formation of 9-oxononanoic acid and epoxyalcohols in tobacco plants was based on the identification of the first tobacco hydroperoxide lyase (HPL) with additional epoxyalcohol synthase (EAS) activity. CONCLUSIONS: Our results contribute to the hypothesis of the oxylipin signature, indicating that different types of plant interactions with a particular pathogen are characterized by the different oxylipin profiles of the host plant. In addition, the tobacco LOC107825278 gene was demonstrated to encode an NtHPL (CYP74C43) enzyme yielding volatile aldehydes and aldoacids (HPL products) as well as oxiranyl carbinols (EAS products).

Cappable-Seq Reveals Specific Patterns of Metabolism and Virulence for Salmonella Typhimurium Intracellular Survival within Acanthamoeba castellanii.

The bacterial pathogen Salmonella enterica, which causes enteritis, has a broad host range and extensive environmental longevity. In water and soil, Salmonella interacts with protozoa and multiplies inside their phagosomes. Although this relationship resembles that between Salmonella and mammalian phagocytes, the interaction mechanisms and bacterial genes involved are unclear. Here, we characterized global gene expression patterns of S. enterica serovar Typhimurium within Acanthamoeba castellanii at the early stage of infection by Cappable-Seq. Gene expression features of S. Typhimurium within A. castellanii were presented with downregulation of glycolysis-related, and upregulation of glyoxylate cycle-related genes. Expression of Salmonella Pathogenicity Island-1 (SPI-1), chemotaxis system, and flagellar apparatus genes was upregulated. Furthermore, expression of genes mediating oxidative stress response and iron uptake was upregulated within A. castellanii as well as within mammalian phagocytes. Hence, global S. Typhimurium gene expression patterns within A. castellanii help better understand the molecular mechanisms of Salmonella adaptation to an amoeba cell and intracellular persistence in protozoa inhabiting water and soil ecosystems.

Conservative and Atypical Ferritins of Sponges.

Ferritins comprise a conservative family of proteins found in all species and play an essential role in resistance to redox stress, immune response, and cell differentiation. Sponges (Porifera) are the oldest Metazoa that show unique plasticity and regenerative potential. Here, we characterize the ferritins of two cold-water sponges using proteomics, spectral microscopy, and bioinformatic analysis. The recently duplicated conservative HdF1a/b and atypical HdF2 genes were found in the Halisarca dujardini genome. Multiple related transcripts of HpF1 were identified in the Halichondria panicea transcriptome. Expression of HdF1a/b was much higher than that of HdF2 in all annual seasons and regulated differently during the sponge dissociation/reaggregation. The presence of the MRE and HRE motifs in the HdF1 and HdF2 promotor regions and the IRE motif in mRNAs of HdF1 and HpF indicates that sponge ferritins expression depends on the cellular iron and oxygen levels. The gel electrophoresis combined with specific staining and mass spectrometry confirmed the presence of ferric ions and ferritins in multi-subunit complexes. The 3D modeling predicts the iron-binding capacity of HdF1 and HpF1 at the ferroxidase center and the absence of iron-binding in atypical HdF2. Interestingly, atypical ferritins lacking iron-binding capacity were found in genomes of many invertebrate species. Their function deserves further research.

Complete Genome Sequence of Lactobacillus hilgardii LMG 7934, Carrying the Gene Encoding for the Novel PII-Like Protein PotN.

Lactic acid bacteria are widespread in various ecological niches with the excess of nutrients and have reduced capabilities to adapt to starvation. Among more than 280 Lactobacillus species known to the date, only five, including Lactobacillus hilgardii, carry in their genome the gene encoding for PII-like protein, one of the central regulators of cellular metabolism generally responding to energy- and carbon-nitrogen status in many free-living Bacteria, Archaea and in plant chloroplasts. In contrast to the classical PII encoding genes, in L. hilgardii genome the gene for PII homologue is located within the potABCD operon, encoding the ABC transporter for polyamines. Based on the unique genetic context and low sequence identity with genes of any other so-far characterized PII subfamilies, we termed this gene potN (Pot-protein, Nucleotide-binding). The second specific feature of L. hilgardii genome is that many genes encoding the proteins with similar function are present in two copies, while with low mutual identity. Thus, L. hilgardii LMG 7934 genome carries two genes of glutamine synthetase with 55% identity. One gene is located within classical glnRA operon with the gene of GlnR-like transcriptional regulator, while the second is monocistronic. Together with the relative large genome of L. hilgardii as compared to other Lactobacilli (2.771.862 bp vs ~ 2.2 Mbp in median), these data suggest significant re-arrangements of the genome and a wider range of adaptive capabilities of L. hilgardii in comparison to other bacteria of the genus Lactobacillus.

High-Throughput Sequencing of the 16S rRNA Gene as a Survey to Analyze the Microbiomes of Free-Living Ciliates Paramecium.

Ciliates are the largest group of ubiquitous aquatic bacterivorous protists, and many species are easily cultivated. However, only few studies reported prokaryotic communities naturally associated with ciliate cells. Herein, we analyzed the microbiome composition of several strains of Paramecium (Ciliophora) originating from different locations and belonging to two morpho-species by high-throughput sequencing (HTS) of the 16S rRNA gene. Possible reasons of HTS results bias were addressed comparing DNA libraries obtained using different primers and different number of ciliate cells. Microbiomes associated with ciliates and their environments were always significantly different by prokaryotic taxonomic composition and bacterial richness. There were also pronounced differences between Paramecium strains. Interestingly, potentially pathogenic bacteria were revealed in Paramecium microbiomes.

Ochrobactrum cytisi IPA7.2 promotes growth of potato microplants and is resistant to abiotic stress.

Bacteria in natural associations with agricultural crops are promising for use in the improvement of clonal micropropagation of plants. We clarified the taxonomic position of Ochrobactrum cytisi strain IPA7.2 and investigated its tolerance for salinity, high temperature, and glyphosate pollution. We also tested the strain's potential to promote the growth of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) microplants. Using the IPA7.2 draft genome (no. NZ_MOEC00000000), we searched for housekeeping genes and also for the target genes encoding glyphosate tolerance and plant-growth-promoting ability. A multilocus sequence analysis of the gap, rpoB, dnaK, trpE, aroC, and recA housekeeping genes led us to identify isolate IPA7.2 as O. cytisi. The strain tolerated temperatures up to 50 °C and NaCl concentrations up to 3-4%, and it produced 8 µg ml-1 of indole-3-acetic acid. It also tolerated 6 mM glyphosate owing to the presence of type II 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase. Finally, it was able to colonize the roots and tissues of potato microplants, an ability preserved by several generations after subculturing. We identified the development phase of potato microplants that was optimal for inoculation with O. cytisi IPA7.2. Inoculation of in vitro-grown 15-day-old microplants increased the mitotic index of root meristem cells (by 50%), the length of shoots (by 34%), the number of leaves (by 7%), and the number of roots (by 16%). Under ex vitro conditions, the inoculated plants had a greater leaf area (by 77%) and greater shoot and root dry weight (by 84 and 61%, respectively) than did the control plants. We recommend O. cytisi IPA 7.2 for use in the growing of potato microplants to improve the production of elite seed material.

Differential expression of quick-to-court gene isoforms in Drosophila male and female.

The quick-to-court (qtc) gene is expressed in both males and females but affects only the mating behavior of males, probably due to the different composition of isoforms between the sexes. We tested this hypothesis and examined the sex-specific expression of qtc transcripts in the tissues of male and female Oregon-R flies. It was found that some qtc transcripts, such as qtc-RM and qtc-RN, are testis-specific, while others like qtc-RH are found in ovaries but absent in testes. No sex-specific transcripts were identified in the brain, suggesting further investigation into specific brain structures may be needed. There is likely a complex regulation of qtc gene expression, which is potentially influenced by various factors in different tissues.

Green leaf divinyl ether synthase: gene detection, molecular cloning and identification of a unique CYP74B subfamily member.

Enzymes of the CYP74 family (P450 superfamily) play a key role in the plant lipoxygenase signalling cascade. Recently we detected a pathogen inducible divinyl ether synthase (DES) in flax leaves [Chechetkin, Blufard, Hamberg, Grechkin, 2008]. This prompted us to examine the CYP74 genes in the flax leaf transcriptome. Since the flax genome is not sequenced, we used the PCR approach with degenerate primers related to the conserved domains of selected CYP74 genes; this revealed several CYP74 transcripts in flax leaves. One transcript belongs to the previously described allene oxide synthase (LuAOS, CYP74A, GenBank ID: U00428.1). Another one contains the ORF (1473 bp) of an unknown CYP74B16 gene. Three more nearly identical sequences, including one expressed pseudogene, were also identified. The recombinant CYP74B16 protein expressed in Escherichia coli had 491 amino acid residues and MW of 56 kDa. The preferred substrate of this enzyme is the 13-hydroperoxide of α-linolenic acid, and the reaction product was identified by mass spectrometry, NMR and UV spectroscopy as the divinyl ether (9Z,11E)-12-[(1'Z,3'Z)-hexadienyloxy]-9,11-dodecadienoic acid, (ω5Z)-etherolenic acid. All previously known CYP74B subfamily enzymes are hydroperoxide lyases. The novel flax enzyme CYP74B16 (LuDES) is an unprecedented DES member of the CYP74B subfamily.

Supramolecular design of biocompatible nanocontainers based on amphiphilic derivatives of a natural compound isosteviol.

Two diterpenoid surfactants with ammonium head groups and bromide (S1) or tosylate (S2) counterions have been synthesized. Exploration of these biomimetic species made it possible to demonstrate that even minor structural changes beyond their chemical nature may dramatically affect their solution behavior. While their aggregation thresholds differ inconsiderably, morphological behavior and affinity to lipid bilayer are strongly dependent on the counterion nature. Compound S2 demonstrates properties of typical surfactants and forms small micelle-like aggregates above critical micelle concentration. For surfactant S1, two critical concentrations and two types of aggregates occur. Structural transitions have been observed between small micelles and aggregates with higher aggregation numbers and hydrodynamic diameter of ca. 150 nm. Unlike S2, surfactant S1 is shown to integrate with liposomes based on dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, resulting in a decrease of the temperature of the main phase transition. Both surfactants demonstrate an effective complexation capacity toward oligonucleotide (ONu), which is supported by recharging the surfactant-ONu complexes and the ethidium bromide exclusion at a low N/P ratio. Meanwhile, a very weak complexation of plasmid DNA with the surfactants has been revealed in the gel electrophoresis experiment. The DNA transfer to bacterial cells mediated by the surfactant S1 is shown to depend on the protocol used. In the case of the electroporation, the inhibition of the cell transformation occurs in the presence of the surfactant, while upon the chemical treatment no surfactant effect has been observed. The variability in the morphology, the biocompatibility, the nanoscale dimension and the high binding capacity toward the DNA decamer make it possible to nominate the designed surfactants as promising carriers for biosubstrates or as a helper surfactant for the mixed liposome-surfactant nanocontainers.

Predictive risk factors before the onset of familial rheumatoid arthritis: the Tatarstan cohort study.

Background: A familial history of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) predisposes an individual to develop RA. This study aimed at investigating factors associated with this conversion from the Tatarstan cohort. Methods: A total of 144 individuals, referred to as pre-RA and at risk for familial RA, were selected 2 years (range: 2-21 years) before conversion to RA and compared to non-converted 328 first-degree relatives (FDR) from RA as assessed after ≥2 years follow-up, and 355 healthy controls were also selected (HC). Preclinical parameters and socio-demographic/individual/HLA genetic factors were analyzed when data were available at the time of enrollment. Results: As compared to FDR and HC groups, pre-RA individuals were characterized before conversion to RA by the presence of arthralgia, severe morning symptoms, a lower educational level, and rural location. An association with the HLA-DRB1 SE risk factor was also retrieved with symmetrical arthralgia and passive smoking. On the contrary, alcohol consumption and childlessness in women were protective and associated with the HLA-DRB1*07:01 locus. Conclusion: Before RA onset, a combination of individual and genetic factors characterized those who are at risk of progressing to RA among those with familial RA relatives.

Comparative Genome Analysis of Two Bacillus pumilus Strains Producing High Level of Extracellular Hydrolases.

Whole-genome sequencing of a soil isolate Bacillus pumilus, strain 7P, and its streptomycin-resistant derivative, B. pumilus 3-19, showed genome sizes of 3,609,117 bp and 3,609,444 bp, respectively. Annotation of the genome showed 3794 CDS (3204 with predicted function) and 3746 CDS (3173 with predicted function) in the genome of strains 7P and 3-19, respectively. In the genomes of both strains, the prophage regions Bp1 and Bp2 were identified. These include 52 ORF of prophage proteins in the Bp1 region and 38 prophages ORF in the Bp2 region. Interestingly, more than 50% of Bp1 prophage proteins are similar to the proteins of the phi105 in B. subtilis. The DNA region of Bp2 has 15% similarity to the DNA of the Brevibacillus Jimmer phage. Degradome analysis of the genome of both strains revealed 148 proteases of various classes. These include 60 serine proteases, 48 metalloproteases, 26 cysteine proteases, 4 aspartate proteases, 2 asparagine proteases, 3 threonine proteases, and 2 unclassified proteases. Likewise, three inhibitors of proteolytic enzymes were found. Comparative analysis of variants in the genomes of strains 7P and 3-19 showed the presence of 81 nucleotide variants in the genome 3-19. Among them, the missense mutations in the rpsL, comA, spo0F genes and in the upstream region of the srlR gene were revealed. These nucleotide polymorphisms may have affected the streptomycin resistance and overproduction of extracellular hydrolases of the 3-19 strain. Finally, a plasmid DNA was found in strain 7P, which is lost in its derivative, strain 3-19. This plasmid contains five coding DNA sequencing (CDS), two regulatory proteins and three hypothetical proteins.

Isolation and Characterization of 1-Hydroxy-2,6,6-trimethyl-4-oxo-2-cyclohexene-1-acetic Acid, a Metabolite in Bacterial Transformation of Abscisic Acid.

We report the discovery of a new abscisic acid (ABA) metabolite, found in the course of a mass spectrometric study of ABA metabolism by the rhizosphere bacterium Rhodococcus sp. P1Y. Analogue of (+)-ABA, enriched in tritium in the cyclohexene moiety, was fed in bacterial cells, and extracts containing radioactive metabolites were purified and analyzed to determine their structure. We obtained mass spectral fragmentation patterns and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of a new metabolite of ABA identified as 1-hydroxy-2,6,6-trimethyl-4-oxo-2-cyclohexene-1-acetic acid, which we named rhodococcal acid (RA) and characterized using several other techniques. This metabolite is the second bacterial ABA degradation product in addition to dehydrovomifoliol that we described earlier. Taken together, these data reveal an unknown ABA catabolic pathway that begins with side chain disassembly, as opposed to the conversion of the cyclohexene moiety in plants. The role of ABA-utilizing bacteria in interactions with other microorganisms and plants is also discussed.

Structure and genetics of the O-antigen of Enterobacter cloacae K7 containing di-N-acetylpseudaminic acid.

The O-antigen (O-polysaccharide) is an essential component of lipopolysaccharide on the surface of Gram-negative bacteria and plays an important role in interaction with host organisms. In this study, we investigated the chemical structure and characterized the gene cluster of Enterobacter cloacae K7 O-antigen. As judged by sugar analyses along with NMR spectroscopy data, E. cloacae K7 antigen has a tetrasaccharide O-unit with the following structure: →8)-ß-Psep5Ac7Ac-(2 â†’ 2)-ß-l-Rhap-(1 â†’ 4)-α-l-Rhap-(1 â†’ 3)-α-d-Galp-(1→ The O-antigen gene cluster of E. cloacae K7 between conserved genes galF and gnd was sequenced. Most genes necessary for the O-antigen synthesis were found in the cluster and their functions were tentatively assigned by comparison with sequences in the available databases.

Rhizosphere Bacterium Rhodococcus sp. P1Y Metabolizes Abscisic Acid to Form Dehydrovomifoliol.

The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays an important role in plant growth and in response to abiotic stress factors. At the same time, its accumulation in soil can negatively affect seed germination, inhibit root growth and increase plant sensitivity to pathogens. ABA is an inert compound resistant to spontaneous hydrolysis and its biological transformation is scarcely understood. Recently, the strain Rhodococcus sp. P1Y was described as a rhizosphere bacterium assimilating ABA as a sole carbon source in batch culture and affecting ABA concentrations in plant roots. In this work, the intermediate product of ABA decomposition by this bacterium was isolated and purified by preparative HPLC techniques. Proof that this compound belongs to ABA derivatives was carried out by measuring the molar radioactivity of the conversion products of this phytohormone labeled with tritium. The chemical structure of this compound was determined by instrumental techniques including high-resolution mass spectrometry, NMR spectrometry, FTIR and UV spectroscopies. As a result, the metabolite was identified as (4RS)-4-hydroxy-3,5,5-trimethyl-4-[(E)-3-oxobut-1-enyl]cyclohex-2-en-1-one (dehydrovomifoliol). Based on the data obtained, it was concluded that the pathway of bacterial degradation and assimilation of ABA begins with a gradual shortening of the acyl part of the molecule.

Transcriptomic data of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium str. 14028S treated with novobiocin.

In enteric bacteria, DNA supercoiling is highly responsive to environmental conditions. Host specific features of environment serve as cues for the expression of genes required for colonization of host niches via changing supercoiling [1]. It has been shown that substitution at position 87 of GyrA of Salmonella enterica str. SL1344 influences global supercoiling and results in an altered transcriptome with increased expression of stress response pathways [2]. Aminocoumarin antibiotics, such as novobiocin, can be used to relax supercoiling and alter the expression of supercoiling-sensitive genes. Meanwhile, Salmonella enterica demonstrates a significant resistance to this antibiotic and relatively small variability of supercoiling in response to the growth phase, osmotic pressure, and novobiocin treatment. Here we present for the first time transcriptome data of Salmonella enterica subsp. Enterica serovar Typhimurium str. 14028S grown in the presence of novobiocin. These data will help identify genes involved in novobiocin resistance and adaptation processes associated with torsion perturbations in S. enterica. Cleaned FASTQ files for the RNA-seq libraries are deposited in the NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRA, Identifier: SRP239815) and have been assigned BioProject accession PRJNA599397.

Dataset for transcriptome analysis of abscisic acid degrading bacterium Novosphingobium sp. P6W.

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) improve plant productivity and stress resistance. The mechanisms involved in plant-microbe interactions include the modulation of plant hormone status. The Novosphingobium sp. strain P6W was previously described as the bacterium capable of abscisic acid (ABA) degradation, and its inoculation decreased ABA concentrations in planta. The metabolic pathway for the ABA degradation in bacteria is still unknown. Here we present transcriptome data of Novosphingobium sp. P6W grown in the medium supplemented with ABA or fructose as the carbon source. Cleaned FASTQ files for the RNA-seq libraries are deposited in the NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRA, Identifier: SRP189498) and have been assigned BioProject accession PRJNA529223.

Dataset for transcriptome analysis of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium strain 14028S response to starvation.

Salmonella enterica is an ubiquitous pathogen throughout the world causing gastroenteritis in humans and animals. Survival of pathogenic bacteria in the external environment may be associated with the ability to overcome the stress caused by starvation. The bacterial response to starvation is well understood in laboratory cultures with a sufficiently high cell density. However, bacterial populations often have a small size when facing this challenge in natural biotopes. The aim of this work was to find out if there are differences in the transcriptomes of S. enterica depending on the factor of cell density during starvation. Here we present transcriptome data of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium str. 14028S grown in carbon rich or carbon deficient medium with high or low cell density. These data will help identify genes involved in adaptation of low-density bacterial populations to starvation conditions.

Complete genome sequence of the abscisic acid-utilizing strain Novosphingobium sp. P6W.

The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays multiple roles in plant survival and fitness. Significant quantities of ABA are constantly introduced into soil via root exudation, root turnover and incorporation of abscised shoot tissues. In addition, some phytopathogenic fungi synthesize ABA in the course of plant-microbe interactions. The accumulation of soil ABA can inhibit seed germination and root growth but despite this observation, the biochemical pathways of ABA conversion by microorganisms and genetic determinants of the process remain unknown. Here we report on the complete genome sequence of strain P6W, an ABA-utilizing isolate of the genus Novosphingobium. Strain P6W was isolated from the rhizosphere of rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedlings using a selective ABA-supplemented medium. The genome of strain P6W consists of 6,606,532 bp, which includes two chromosomes and two plasmids. It comprises of 5663 protein-coding genes and 80 RNA genes. ANI values calculated based on the analysis of nine previously sequenced genomes of members of the genus Novosphingobium ranged from 77 to 92%, which suggests that strain P6W is potentially a new species of the genus Novosphingobium. Functional annotation of genes in the genome of strain P6W revealed a number genes that could be potentially responsible for ABA degradation.

Complete Genome Sequence of Abscisic Acid-Metabolizing Rhizobacterium Rhodococcus sp. Strain P1Y.

Mechanisms of microbial catabolism of phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) are still unknown. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of ABA-utilizing Rhodococcus sp. strain P1Y, isolated from the rice (Oryza sativa L.) rhizosphere. The sequence was obtained using an approach combining Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinION and Illumina MiSeq sequence data.
