The completion of the draft sequence of the human genome has provided us with a partial list of known and putative human genes, the total number of which is estimated between 30, 000 and 45, 000 (1, 2). These genes provide many potential targets for drugs, some of which may be useful in stopping the growth of cancers. The development of gene-targeting anticancer drugs could be greatly facilitated by the ability to narrow down the list of human genes to those that are necessary for the growth of tumor cells.

Alternaria alternata JS-1623 is an endophytic fungus isolated from a stem tissue of Korean fir, Abies koreana. Ethyl acetate extracts of culture filtrates exhibited anti-inflammatory activity in LPS induced microglia BV-2 cell without cytotoxicity. Here we report a 33.67 Mb sized genome assembly of JS-1623 comprised of 13 scaffolds with N50 of 4.96 Mb, and 92.41% of BUSCO completeness. GC contents were 50.97%. Of the 11,197 genes annotated, gene families related to the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites or transcription factors were identified.

Pine wilt disease, caused by the nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is one of the most devastating conifer diseases decimating several species of pine trees on a global scale. Here, we report the draft genome of Raoultella ornithinolytica MG, which is isolated from mountain-cultivated ginseng plant as an bacterial endophyte and shows nematicidal activity against B. xylophilus. Our analysis of R. ornithinolytica MG genome showed that it possesses many genes encoding potential nematicidal factors in addition to some secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters that may contribute to the observed nematicidal activity of the strain. Furthermore, the genome was lacking key components of avermectin gene cluster, suggesting that nematicidal activity of the bacterium is not likely due to the famous anthelmintic agent of wide-spread use, avermectin. This genomic information of R. ornithinolytica will provide basis for identification and engineering of genes and their products toward control of pine wilt disease.

Flavobacteriaceae에 속하는 해양 Flavobacteria인 Flagellimonas eckloniae DOKDO $007^T$은 독도에서 서식하는 조류(Ecklonia kurome)에서 분리되었다. DOKDO $007^T$ 균주의 유전체는 4,132,279 bp 크기로 3,527개의 코딩 서열과 37.85%의 GC 함량을 가지며, 하나의 스케폴드에서 두 개의 콘티그로 구성되어 있다. 이 균주는 태양광을 에너지원으로써 이용할 수 있는 여러 레티날 생합성 유전자들과 마찬가지로 프로테오로돕신을 인코딩하는 유전자를 함유하고 있다. 속명과는 달리 편모 형성에 관여하는 유전자가 충분하지 못한 것을 감안하여 속명의 개정이 필요하다.

In the current study, the probiotic potential of approximately 250 strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from piglet fecal samples were investigated; among them Lactobacillus plantarum strain JDFM LP11, which possesses significant probiotic potential, with enhanced acid/bile tolerance, attachment to porcine intestinal epithelial cells (IPEC-J2), and antimicrobial activity. The genetic characteristics of strain JDFM LP11 were explored by performing whole genome sequencing (WGS) using a PacBio system. The circular draft genome have a total length of 3,206,883 bp and a total of 3,021 coding sequences were identified. Phylogenetically, three genes, possibly related to survival and metabolic activity in the porcine host, were identified. These genes encode p60, lichenan permease IIC component, and protein TsgA, which are a putative endopeptidase, a component of the phosphotransferase system (PTS), and a major facilitator in the gut environment, respectively. Our findings suggest that understanding the functional and genetic characteristics of L. plantarum strain JDFM LP11, with its candidate genes for gut health, could provide new opportunities and insights into applications in the animal food and feed additive industries.

Erwinia pyrifoliae is a Gram-negative bacterial plant pathogen that causes black shoot blight in apple and pear. Although earlier studies reported the genome comparison of Erwinia species, E. pyrifoliae strains for such analysis were isolated in 1996. In 2014, the strain E. pyrifoliae EpK1/15 was newly isolated in the apple tree showing black shoot blight in South Korea. This study aimed to better understand the similarities and differences caused by natural variations at the genomic level between newly isolated E. pyrifoliae EpK1/15 and the strain Ep1/96, which were isolated almost 20 years apart. Several comparative genomic analyses were conducted, and Clusters of Orthologous Groups of proteins (COG) database was used to classify functional annotation for each strain. E. pyrifoliae EpK1/15 had similarities with the Ep1/96 strain in stress-related genes, Tn3 transposase of insertion sequences, type III secretion systems, and small RNAs. The most remarkable difference to emerge from this comparison was that although the draft genome of E. pyrifoliae EpK1/15 was almost conserved, Epk1/15 strain had at least three sorts of structural variations in functional annotation according to COG database; chromosome inversion, translocation, and duplication. These results indicate that E. pyrifoliae species has gone natural variations within almost 20 years at the genomic level, and we can trace their similarities and differences with comparative genomic analysis.

The type strain Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis KCTC $3135^T$ was deeply sequenced and annotated, replacing a previous draft genome in this study. The tar and tag genes were involved in synthesizing wall teichoic acids (WTAs), and these genes and their products were previously regarded as the distinguishing difference between B. s. subtilis and B. s. spizizenii. However, a comparative genomic analysis of B. subtilis spp. revealed that both B. s. subtilis and B. s. spizizenii had various types of cell walls. These tar and tag operons were mutually exclusive and the tar genes from B. s. spizizenii were very similar to the genes from non-Bacillus bacteria, unlike the tag genes from B. s. subtilis. The results and previous studies suggest that the tar genes and the tag genes are not inherited after subspecies speciation. The phylogenetic tree based on whole genome sequences showed that each subspecies clearly formed a monophyletic group, while the tree based on tar genes showed that monophyletic groups were formed according to the cell wall type rather than the subspecies. These findings indicate that the tar genes and the presence of ribitol as a cell-wall constituent were not the distinguishing difference between the subspecies of B. subtilis and that the description of subspecies B. s. spizizenii should be updated.

우리는 처음으로 바닷물에서 히알우론산 분해효소를 생산하는 균주인 Vibrio splendidus KCTC 11899BP를 분리하고 동정했다. KCTC 11899BP는 히알우론산(HA)이 기초 배지에 첨가 될 때에만 Hyaluronate lyase를 생산하며, 이 효소는 HA의 ${\beta}$-(1, 4) 결합을 분해하여 이당(disaccharide)을 생성시키는 효소로서 미생물에 의해 생산된다. 게놈 염기서열분석을 통해, KCTC 11899BP의 게놈은 2개의 염색체를 보유하는 다른 Vibrio sp.와 유사하게 각각 3,522 kb (contig 1)와 1,986 kb (contig 2)인 두 개의 원형 contig로 구성되어 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 4,700개의 예측 오픈 리딩 프레임, G + C 함량 44.12%, 137개의 tRNA 유전자 및 46개의 rRNA 유전자를 포함하고 있다는 것을 확인했다.
