چکیده
We report here the draft genomes of three Bacillus anthracis strains isolated in France: 08-8_20 (A.Br.001/002), 99-100 (A.Br.011/009), and 00-82 (B.Br CNEVA). The total lengths of assemblies are 5,440,708 bp, 5,446,472 bp, and 5,436,014 bp for 08-8_20, 99-100, and 00-82, respectively.

Genome differences that distinguish Bacillus anthracis from Bacillus cereus and Bacillus thuringiensis.
The three species of the group 1 bacilli, Bacillus anthracis, B. cereus, and B. thuringiensis, are genetically very closely related. All inhabit soil habitats but exhibit different phenotypes. B. anthracis is the causative agent of anthrax and is phylogenetically monomorphic, while B. cereus and B. thuringiensis are genetically more diverse. An amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis de...
متن کاملBacillus cereus Sensu Lato Genomes: Basis for Identifying Anthrax Disease Strain Sources
Why would one want to sequence the genomes of 94 additional, mostly soil and water isolates of Bacillus cereus sensu lato (1)? The answer is of course to be able to make a rapid analysis during a bioterrorism event, to develop a portable kit for the rapid identification of anthrax spores (by proteomic analysis), and to determine their precise origin (by means of DNA genomic polymorphisms). The ...
متن کاملCharacterization of genetic diversity of Bacillus anthracis in France by using high-resolution melting assays and multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis.
Using high-resolution melting (HRM) analysis, we developed a cost-effective method to genotype a set of 13 phylogenetically informative single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the genome of Bacillus anthracis. SNP discrimination assays were performed in monoplex or duplex and applied to 100 B. anthracis isolates collected in France from 1953 to 2009 and a few reference strains. HRM provid...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequences of Two Bacillus anthracis Strains from Etosha National Park, Namibia
Bacillus anthracis strains K1 and K2 were isolated from two plains zebra anthrax carcasses in Etosha National Park, Namibia. These are draft genomes obtained by Illumina MiSeq sequencing of isolates collected from culture of blood-soaked soil from each carcass.
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequences of Three Alkaliphilic Bacillus Strains, Bacillus wakoensis JCM 9140T, Bacillus akibai JCM 9157T, and Bacillus hemicellulosilyticus JCM 9152T
Here, we report the draft genome sequences of the type strains of three cellulolytic or hemicellulolytic alkaliphilic Bacillus species: Bacillus wakoensis, Bacillus akibai, and Bacillus hemicellulosilyticus. The genome information for these three strains will be useful for studies of alkaliphilic Bacillus species, their evolution, and biotechnological applications for their enzymes.
