Genome sequence of Bacillus paranthracis strain SCM10-01, isolated from the intestinal mucosa of a wild Synallaxis cabanisi collected in Peru.

We report the genome sequence of Bacillus paranthracis SCM10-01, isolated from a wild neotropical bird (Synallaxis cabanisi) collected in Peru. The assembly yielded one chromosome, three plasmids, and Bacillus phage SCM10. Genomic screening identified complete hemolysin BL, nonhemolytic enterotoxin operons, and cytotoxin K2, but no anthrax-associated toxin or capsule genes.

We haven't written up this one. bioRxiv has the full story — the link below goes straight to it.
