Background Laboratory adaptation process used in sterile insect technique (SIT) programs can exert a significant impact on the insect-gut microbiome relationship, which may negatively impact the quality and performance of…
Background Mycobacteriosis can cause morbidity and mortality and is characterized as a disease with zoonotic potential that is found worldwide in both fresh and marine fish. Here, we report the…
Abstract Mycobacterium hippocampi is an acid-fast opportunistic pathogen associated with infections in aquatic animals. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of M. hippocampi strain DL, an isolate from cultured…
Background An increasing human population necessitates more food production, yet current techniques in agriculture, such as chemical pesticide use, have negative impacts on the ecosystems and strong public opposition. Alternatives…
Background Insects represent the most successful taxon of eukaryotic life, being able to colonize almost all environments. Microbial symbiomes associated with insects, impact important physiologies, and influence nutritional and immune…
Abstract Symbiotic bacteria contribute to a multitude of important biological functions such as nutrition and reproduction and affect multiple physiological factors like fitness and longevity in their insect hosts. The…
Abstract Various endosymbiotic bacteria, including Wolbachia of the Alphaproteobacteria, infect a wide range of insects and are capable of inducing reproductive abnormalities to their hosts such as cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI),…
Abstract The role of symbiotic microbes in insects, especially the beneficial character of this interaction for insects, has received much attention in recent years as it has been related to…
Abstract Bacillus cereus is a Gram‐positive, widely distributed bacterium that has a high level of metabolite production. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of a B. cereus strain exhibiting…
