Bacterial Genomes To Download

Hi guys,

I wonder if there're any up-to date publicly available genomes of bacteria, I could use as an input for Blast/Blat (fasta/2bit format) search. If so, would you send me links? I'm aware of database '16S ribosomal RNA sequences (Bacteria and Archaea)', however it's coverage is rather low. I appreciate your experiences.

EDIT: thank you guys, you've helped me a lot. It's a shame, that as an answer just one can be picked :)

You can get a lot from Human Microbiome Project.

I have a good blog post on this topic:

Oh nice! I am now an official fan of your blog!

You can get a bunch of genomes from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/MICROBES/microbial_taxtree.html

You should add comments like this as "comments" rather than "answer".

Repositive has a FREE collection of 21,300 Microbiome datasets from 7 different data sources

It appears that you are a representative from repositive and want to advertise your platform. You should do so as a separate post under "tools" (listing all types of data available) rather than posting in older threads.
