Draft Genome Sequence of the Methane-Oxidizing Bacterium Methylococcus capsulatus (Texas)
Keyword(s):
ABSTRACTMethanotrophic bacteria perform major roles in global carbon cycles via their unique enzymatic activities that enable the oxidation of one-carbon compounds, most notably methane. Here we describe the annotated draft genome sequence of the aerobic methanotrophMethylococcus capsulatus(Texas), a type strain originally isolated from sewer sludge.
