Abstract:
This work describes the complete genome sequence of a chemoautotrophic ammonia-oxidizing archaeon Nitrosopumilus zosterae NM25T. The assembled genome is composed of a circular chromosome with a genome size of 1,775,052 bp and a G+C content of 33.91%. Overall, 2,055 protein-coding genes, 43 tRNA genes, and 3 rRNA genes were predicted.

Advancements in molecular biology have revolutionized the identification and characterization of bacteria, with multiple methods leveraging DNA sequencing for enhanced precision. As sequencing technologies improve and costs decline, these approaches are increasingly used in clinical, environmental, and evolutionary studies.Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) examines several housekeeping genes, essential chromosomal genes encoding cellular functions, to distinguish strains. Approximately...

652
The phylum Tenericutes, which includes the single class Mollicutes, comprises bacteria that lack cell walls. The term "Mollicutes" derives from the Latin word mollis, meaning "soft." These organisms are among the smallest known and are commonly referred to as mycoplasmas due to the prominence of the genus Mycoplasma, which includes well-known human pathogens. Despite their inability to stain gram-positively (a result of their lack of cell walls), mycoplasmas are phylogenetically related to the...
