Abstract: Currently only four genome sequences for Limnothrix spp. are publicly available, and information on the genetic properties of cyanobacteria belonging to this genus is limited. In this study, we report the draft genome of Limnothrix sp. CACIAM 69d, isolated from the reservoir of a hydroelectric dam located in the Amazon ecosystem, from where cyanobacterial genomic data are still scarce. Comparative genomic analysis of Limnothrix revealed the presence of key enzymes in the cyanobacterial central carbon metabolism and how it is well equipped for environmental sulfur and nitrogen acquisition. Additionally, this work covered the analysis of Limnothrix CRISPR-Cas systems, pathways related to biosynthesis of secondary metabolites and assembly of extracellular polymeric substances and their exportation. A trans-AT PKS gene cluster was identified in two strains, possibly related to the novel toxin Limnothrixin biosynthesis. Overall, the draft genome of Limnothrix sp. CACIAM 69d adds new data to the small Limnothrix genome library and contributes to a growing representativeness of cyanobacterial genomes from the Amazon region. The comparative genomic analysis of Limnothrix made it possible to highlight unique genes for each strain and understand the overall features of their metabolism.

SPAdes, a new genome assembly algorithm and its applications to single-cell sequencing ( 7th Annual SFAF Meeting, 2012)
Glenn Tesler
- 01 Jun 2012
TL;DR: SPAdes as mentioned in this paper is a new assembler for both single-cell and standard (multicell) assembly, and demonstrate that it improves on the recently released E+V-SC assembler and on popular assemblers Velvet and SoapDeNovo (for multicell data).

Acclimation of an algal consortium to sequester nutrients from anaerobic digestate.
TL;DR: The objective of this research was to investigate the growth, community composition, and digestate treatment performance of a local algae consortium that was adapted to bacteria-pretreated digestate, and to subculture a local consortium on pretreated dairy manure digestate and then municipal wastewater sludge digestate.

Hui Teng Tan,Fatimah Md. Yusoff,Yam Sim Khaw,Muhammad Farhan Nazarudin,Nur Amirah Izyan Noor Mazli,Siti Aqlima Ahmad,Noor Azmi Shaharuddin,Tatsuki Toda +7 more
TL;DR: The potential of freshwater cyanobacteria in producing respective and total phycobiliproteins is underlined and future studies such as the optimization process should be adopted to improve the phyCobiliprotein production of these cyanob bacteria significantly.

Impact of increasing temperature on the taxonomic and metabolic structure of bacterial communities in a global warming context
TL;DR: In this paper , the impact of short-term temperature increases on taxonomic and physiological bacterial diversity and their relationships was studied in Lake Michigan, and the authors showed that a continuous increase in water temperature for 14 d significantly affected the taxonomic structure of bacteria that inhabit lake water.

A simple, fast, and accurate algorithm to estimate large phylogenies by maximum likelihood.
Stéphane Guindon,Olivier Gascuel +1 more
TL;DR: This work has used extensive and realistic computer simulations to show that the topological accuracy of this new method is at least as high as that of the existing maximum-likelihood programs and much higher than the performance of distance-based and parsimony approaches.
