Complete Genome Sequence of the Secondary Alcohol-Utilizing Methanogen Methanospirillum hungatei Strain GP1
Keyword(s):
We report the complete genome sequence of Methanospirillum hungatei strain GP1 (DSM 1101). Strain GP1 oxidizes H 2 , formate, and secondary alcohols as the substrates for methanogenesis. Members of the genus are model organisms used to study syntrophic growth with bacterial partners, but secondary alcohol metabolism remains poorly studied.
