RESUMO
Culture-dependent techniques only permit the study of a low percentage of the microbiota diversity in the environment. The introduction of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies shed light into this hidden microbial world, providing a better knowledge on the general microbiota and, specifically, on the microbial populations of clams. Tissue-associated microbiota of Ruditapes decussatus and Ruditapes philippinarum (mantle, gills, gonad and hepatopancreas) was analysed in two different locations of Galicia (northwest of Spain) during Spring (April) and Autumn (October), employing a metataxonomic approach. High bacterial diversity and richness were found in all samples where a total of 22,044 OTUs were obtained. In most samples, phylum Proteobacteria was most frequently retrieved, although other phyla as Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Tenericutes, Firmicutes or Chlamydiae also appeared at high relative abundances in the samples. At genus level, great variation was found across tissues and sampling periods. A Nonmetric Multidimensional Scaling (NMDS) and a hierarchical clustering analysis allowed to further analyse the factors responsible for the differences among groups of samples in the different sites. Results showed sample ordination based on tissue origin and sampling periods, pointing out that the microbiota was influenced by these factors. Indeed, predominance of certain genera was observed, such as Endozoicomonas or Methylobacterium in gills and gonads, respectively, suggesting that selection of specific bacterial taxa is likely to occur. So far, this study provided a general picture of the tissue associated microbial population structure in R. decussatus and R. philippinarum clams, which, ultimately, allowed the identification of specific tissue-related taxa.

Yersinia ruckeri is a significant and frequent bacterial fish pathogen in Peru. We report the draft genome sequence of strain FMV-22, isolated from a diseased rainbow trout, which consists of 3.84 Mb, with a G+C content of 47.45% and 3,765 protein-coding genes.
RESUMO
The Gram-negative bacterium Aeromonas sobria is an opportunistic pathogen that affects humans and animals, including fish. Here, we report the draft genome of strain CHT-30, which was isolated from a diseased rainbow trout in Peru. The genome size is 4.91 Mb, with a G+C content of 57.7%, and the genome includes 4,820 coding sequences.
RESUMO
Ten Gram-negative, rod-shaped and motile bacterial strains were isolated from spider crab (M27.10, M27.11a, F36.1, F36.4, M56.1, F76.17b, M146.1, M166.3 and M166.6) and pullet carpet shell clam (SBRF 1.10) collected in the coast of Galicia. Analyses of the 16S rRNA genes showed that the strains belong to the genus Kiloniella and have high similarity with the species Kiloniella spongiae (99.44-99.86%) and Kiloniella litopenaei (99.0-99.5%). Strains M56.1T (=CECT 9195, =LMG 29925), M146.1 (=CECT 9193, =LMG 29926) and SBRF 1.10 (=CECT 9194, =LMG 29927) were selected on the basis of genotyping by enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus PCR (ERIC-PCR). Phylogenetic analysis based on concatenated sequences of the genes gyrB, ftsZ, rpoD and mreB showed that the isolates form a differentiated branch within the genus Kiloniella. Moreover, the average nucleotide identity (ANIm, ANIb and OrthoANI) and in silico estimated DNA-DNA reassociation values between selected Galician isolates and Kiloniella species were below the established cut-off for species deliniation. The results obtained in the genetic and phenotypical analyses indicate that the isolates represent a new species of the genus Kiloniella, for which the name Kiloniella majae sp. nov. is proposed with strain M56.1T (=CECT 9195T, =LMG 29925T) as the type strain.
