Transcription activator‐like effectors (TALEs), which induce the expression of specific plant genes to promote infection, are the main pathogenic determinants of various Xanthomonas bacteria. However, investigation of TALEs from Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris, which causes black rot disease of crucifers, received little attention. In this study, we used PCR‐based amplification followed by SMRT amplicon sequencing to identify TALE genes in several X. campestris pv. campestris strains. Computational prediction in conjunction with quantitative reverse transcription PCR analysis was used to find their targets in the Brassica oleracea genome. Transcription factor ERF121, from the AP2/ERF family, was identified as target gene for the conserved TALEs from multiple X. campestris pv. campestris strains. Several members of this family from diverse plants were previously identified as targets of TALEs from different Xanthomonas species. We propose that TALE‐dependent activation of AP2/ERF transcription factors promotes susceptibility to Xanthomonas through the misregulation of plant defence pathways.

A new presumably simple consortium of a Leptolyngbya sp. and a Porphyrobacter sp. was isolated from Tolbo Lake in Mongolia. The draft genome sequences of both species are reported.

Here, we report the first draft genome sequence of the clinically relevant species Mycobacterium gordonae. The clinical isolate Mycobacterium gordonae 14-8773 was obtained from the sputum of a patient with mycobacteriosis.

We report here two draft cyanobacterial genome sequences, those of Cyanobacterium aponinum IPPAS B-1201, isolated from a hot spring in the Turgen Gorge (Kazakhstan), and the uncharacterized cyanobacterium IPPAS B - 1203, isolated from a hot spring in Karlovy Vary (Czech Republic). These two strains were deposited at the Collection of Microalgae (IPPAS) of the Timiryazev Institute of Plant Physiology.

Цель исследования: определить дизайн праймеров и зондов, специфичных к ДНК нетуберкулезных микобактерий (НТМБ), и оценить их диагностическую значимость при одновременном выявлении НТМБ и M. tuberculosis complex (МБТК) методом ПЦР в режиме реального времени. Материалы и методы. Дизайн праймеров и зондов осуществляли с использованием ПО Primer 3, Primer BLAST, Ugene Uni Pro. Предварительную оценку специфичности и чувствительности выявления ДНК НТМБ проводили на культурах, принадлежащих к 18 видам НТМБ, 16 штаммам МБТК и 14 видам микроорганизмов, не относящихся к роду Mycobacterum. Аналитическую чувствительность оценивали на 284 культурах НТМБ, диагностическую чувствительность - на 124 образцах мокроты. Выделение ДНК проводили набором «М-Сорб-Туб-Автомат» (ЗАО «Синтол»). Культуры подвергали субкультивированию на жидкой среде Middlebrook 7H9 в системе Bactec MGIT 960. Идентификацию культур проводили с использованием стандартных микробиологических методов. Анализ ДНК, выделенной из культур, выполняли c помощью набора реагентов GenoTypeCM/AS (Hain Lifescience, Германия). Результаты. Показаны 100%-ные специфичность и чувствительность ПЦР при работе с культурами микобактерий и 100%-ная специфичность и 69,70%-ная чувствительность при анализе диагностического материала.
