Ongoing studies in South America of phorid flies of the genus Pseudacteon Coquillett 1907 have revealed two further new species in this genus that are described here: P. obtusitus and P. notocaudatus. Both species are parasitoids of Solenopsis (F.) fire ants.

This section expands on the analysis of Section 3 in the original manuscript regarding the relation of the SHGP to Hierarchical Gamma (HGP) and Hierarchical Dirichlet processes (HDP) as seen in Table 1. The SHGP is a prior over the weight matrix J as opposed to the HDP which is a prior over the transition matrix P . This difference is crucial, since it allows for direct manipulation of the weig...

Bacillus litoralis C44 can hydrolyze rutin to produce isoquercetin by the enzyme α-l-rhamnosidase. We report here the genome sequence and annotation result of strain C44. The genomic information will serve as references to the physiology, genetics, and evolution of this species and further genetic engineering research in this species.

Aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria (AAPB) are important functional groups and are widely distributed in the global upper ocean. Here we report the draft genomic sequences of two marine AAPB isolates belonging to the genus Erythrobacter, Erythrobacter longus strain DSM 6997 and Erythrobacter litoralis strain DSM 8509.

Marinobacter santoriniensis NKSG1(T) originates from metalliferous marine sediment. It can respire and redox cycle arsenic species and perform mixotrophic, nitrate-dependent Fe(II) oxidation. The genome sequence, reported here, will help further elucidate the genetic mechanisms underlying these and other potential biogeochemically relevant functions, such as arsenic and mercury resistance and h...

Here we report the draft genome of Marinobacter manganoxydans MnI7-9, isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent in the Indian Ocean and capable of oxidizing manganese even when there is a very high concentration of Mn(2+). The strain also displayed high resistance and adsorption ability toward many metal(loid)s.

Roseobacter litoralis OCh149 is a type strain of aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria in marine Roseobacter clade. Its full genome has been sequenced; however, proteomic research, which will give deeper insights into the environmental stimuli on gene expression networks, has yet to be performed. In the present study, a proteomic approach was employed to analyze the status of R. litoralis OC...
