Genome of a novel Sediminibacterium now accepted in G3!

Our manuscript that describes the genome of a novel Sediminibacterium discovered in association with two separate cyanobacterial isolates from freshwater locales in Southern California has now been accepted at G3! All the analyses for this manuscript were performed by our super talented NSF REU scholars (including the Sethuraman Lab's very own Andrew Zhang), and the entire paper was written by all of us in a conference room, masked, with everyone contributing sentences - the most unique experience of all! Read the preprint here, while we await the print version!
