Methanobacterium sp. Mb1, a hydrogenotrophic methanogenic Archaeon, was isolated from a rural biogas plant producing methane-rich biogas from maize silage and cattle manure in Germany. Here we report the complete genome sequence of the novel methanogenic isolate Methanobacterium sp. Mb1 harboring a 2,029,766 bp circular chromosome featuring a GC content of 39.74%. The genome encodes two rRNA operons, 41 tRNA genes and 2021 coding sequences and represents the smallest genome currently known within the genus Methanobacterium.
一株产甲烷古菌 Methanobacterium sp. Mb1 从德国的一个农村沼气厂中分离得到,该沼气厂利用玉米青贮料和牛粪生产富含甲烷的沼气。本研究报告了新型产甲烷菌 Methanobacterium sp. Mb1 的全基因组序列,其基因组为 2029766bp 的环状染色体,GC 含量为 39.74%。该基因组编码两个 rRNA 操纵子、41 个 tRNA 基因和 2021 个编码序列,是目前已知的 Methanobacterium 属中最小的基因组。
