Publication Draft Genome Sequence of Erwinia tracheiphila, an Economically Important Bacterial Pathogen of Cucurbits
(American Society for Microbiology, 2015) Shapiro, Lori; Scully, Erin D.; Roberts, Dana; Straub, Timothy J.; Geib, Scott M.; Park, Jihye; Stephenson, Andrew G.; Salaau Rojas, Erika; Liu, Quin; Beattie, Gwyn; Gleason, Mark; De Moraes, Consuelo M.; Mescher, Mark C.; Fleischer, Shelby G.; Kolter, Roberto; Pierce, Naomi; Zhaxybayeva, OlgaErwinia tracheiphila is one of the most economically important pathogens of cucumbers, melons, squashes, pumpkins, and gourds in the northeastern and midwestern United States, yet its molecular pathology remains uninvestigated. Here, we report the first draft genome sequence of an E. tracheiphila strain isolated from an infected wild gourd (Cucurbita pepo subsp. texana) plant. The genome assembly consists of 7 contigs and includes a putative plasmid and at least 20 phage and prophage elements.
Publication Complete Genome Sequence of EtG, the First Phage Sequenced from Erwinia tracheiphila
(American Society for Microbiology, 2018) Andrade-Domínguez, Andrés; Kolter, Roberto; Shapiro, LoriABSTRACT Erwinia tracheiphila is the causal agent of bacterial wilt of cucurbits. Here, we report the genome sequence of the temperate phage EtG, which was isolated from an E. tracheiphila-infected cucumber plant. Phage EtG has a linear 30,413-bp double-stranded DNA genome with cohesive ends and 45 predicted open reading frames.
