The present study describes the complete and annotated genome sequence of Methanomassiliicoccus luminyensis strain B10 (DSM 24529(T), CSUR P135), which was isolated from human feces. The 2.6-Mb genome represents the largest genome of a methanogenic euryarchaeon isolated from humans. The genome data of M. luminyensis reveal unique features and horizontal gene transfer events, which might have occurred during its adaptation and/or evolution in the human ecosystem.
本研究描述了从人类粪便中分离出的 Methanomassiliicoccus luminyensis 菌株 B10（DSM 24529(T)，CSUR P135）的完整注释基因组序列。该 2.6-Mb 基因组代表了从人类中分离出的产甲烷古菌中最大的基因组。M. luminyensis 的基因组数据揭示了独特的特征和水平基因转移事件，这些事件可能发生在其适应和/或在人类生态系统中的进化过程中。
