Draft genome sequence of Methylobacterium sp. strain ARG-1 isolated from the white-rot fungus Armillaria gallica

Abstract

Methylobacterium sp. strain ARG-1 was isolated from a cell culture of hyphal tips of the white-rot fungus Armillaria gallica. We describe here the sequencing, assembly, and annotation of its genome, confirming the presence of genes involved in methylotrophy. This is the first genome announcement of a strain of Methylobacterium associated with A. gallica.
