PacBio's long-read sequencing technologies can be successfully used for a complete bacterial genome assembly using recently developed non-hybrid assemblers in the absence of second-generation, high-quality short reads. However, standardized procedures that take into account multiple pre-existing second-generation sequencing platforms are scarce. In addition to Illumina HiSeq and Ion Torrent PGM-based genome sequencing results derived from previous studies, we generated further sequencing data, including from the PacBio RS II platform, and applied various bioinformatics tools to obtain complete genome assemblies for five bacterial strains. Our approach revealed that the hierarchical genome assembly process (HGAP) non-hybrid assembler resulted in nearly complete assemblies at a moderate coverage of ~75x, but that different versions produced non-compatible results requiring post processing. The other two platforms further improved the PacBio assembly through scaffolding and a final error correction.

Halioglobus sp. RR3-57 was isolated from a biofilter of a seawater recirculating aquaculture system and its complete genome sequence was obtained using the PacBio RS II platform. Two circular contigs were assembled and considered as a chromosome and a plasmid (size of 4,847,776 bp and 155,799 bp, and G+C content of 57.5% and 53.2%, respectively). Genomic analysis showed RR3-57 had 18 denitrification-related genes and an incomplete prophage.

The whole genome sequencing using PacBio RS II platform was performed for a marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas donghaensis $HJ51^T$ isolated from East Sea of Korea. As a result, three assembled contigs consisting of a chromosome (size of 3,646,857 bp, and G + C content of 41.8%) and two plasmids (size of 842,855 bp and 244,204 bp, and G + C content of 41.3% and 40.4%, respectively) were obtained. The genome included 4,083 protein coding genes and 127 RNA genes. This result could be used for gene sources of biopolymers degradation and the development as a new host with secretion system similar to Escherichia coli.

A novel bacterium, designated strain RR4-38 (= KCTC 52651 = DSM 108068), belonging to the family Flavobacteriaceae was isolated from a biofilter in the seawater recirculating aquaculture system in South Korea. A single complete genome contig which is 3,182,272 bp with 41.9% G+C content was generated using PacBio RS II platform. The genome includes 2,829 protein-coding genes, 6 rRNA genes, 38 tRNA genes, 4 non-coding RNA genes, and 9 pseudogenes. The results will provide insights for understanding microbial activity in the seawater recirculating aquaculture system.

Enterococcus faecalis CAUM157, isolated from raw cow's milk, is a Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, and non-spore-forming bacterium capable of inhabiting a wide range of environmental niches. E. faecalis CAUM157 was observed to produce a two-peptide bacteriocin that had a wide range of activity against several pathogens, including Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, and periodontitis-causing bacteria. The whole genome of E. faecalis CAUM157 was sequenced using the PacBio RS II platform, revealing a genome size of 2,972,812 bp with a G+C ratio of 37.44%, assembled into two contigs. Annotation analysis revealed 2,830 coding sequences, 12 rRNAs, and 61 tRNAs. Further, in silico analysis of the genome identified a single bacteriocin gene cluster.
