Draft Genome Sequence of Xenophilus sp., a Novel Bacterium Isolated from the Skin of a Southern Leopard Frog (Rana sphenocephala) in Florida, USA
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report here the draft genome sequence of a novel Xenophilus species cultured from the skin of a southern leopard frog (Rana sphenocephala). Compared to previously sequenced bacterial genomes, our novel isolate showed the most significant homology with Xenophilus azovorans The assembled genome is 3,978,285 bp, with 3,704 predicted genes and one predicted plasmid.

Granulomatous myositis associated with a novel alveolate pathogen in an adult southern leopard frog (Lithobates sphenocephalus).
Since 1999, infections with an incompletely characterized alveolate protozoan variously reported as a Dermocystidium-like organism, a Perkinsus-like agent, and Dermomycoides sp. have been associated with mortality events in tadpoles of ranid frogs from the USA. However, disease or mortality events due to this organism have not been described in post-metamorphic animals. We describe infection wi...
متن کاملA new species of leopard frog (Anura: Ranidae) from the urban northeastern US.
Past confusion about leopard frog (genus Rana) species composition in the Tri-State area of the US that includes New York (NY), New Jersey (NJ), and Connecticut (CT) has hindered conservation and management efforts, especially where populations are declining or imperiled. We use nuclear and mitochondrial genetic data to clarify the identification and distribution of leopard frog species in this...
متن کاملAdverse effects of ecologically relevant dietary mercury exposure in southern leopard frog (Rana sphenocephala) larvae.
Southern leopard frog (Rana sphenocephala) larvae were exposed to experimental diets supplemented with aufwuchs from control and mercury-enriched mesocosms combined in proportions intended to mimic mercury concentrations and speciation in aufwuchs observed from aquatic systems contaminated by atmospheric deposition. Observations on rates of mortality, malformation, and larval growth and develop...
متن کاملAdverse effects of environmentally relevant dietary mercury exposure in larvae of the southern leopard frog, Rana sphenocephala
We exposed larvae of the southern leopard frog (Rana sphenocephala ) to diets supplemented with aufwuchs (periphyton and associate organisms) from control and mercury (Hg) enriched mesocosms combined in proportions intended to mimic mercury concentrations and speciation in aufwuchs observed from aquatic systems contaminated by atmospheric deposition. Actual total mercury (THg) concentrations in...
متن کاملEffects of hydroperiod on metamorphosis in Rana sphenocephala
—Hydroperiod, the time a temporary pond holds water, is an important factor influencing recruitment in amphibian populations and structuring amphibian communities. We conducted an experiment to test the effect of hydroperiod on metamorphic traits of the southern leopard frog (Rana sphenocephala), a common amphibian in the southeastern United States. We reared larval R. sphenocephala in artifici...
