Draft genome sequence of uncultivated Firmicutes (Peptococcaceae SCADC) single cells sorted from methanogenic alkane-degrading cultures

Abstract

The draft genome of an uncultivated bacterium affiliated with the Peptococcaceae was reconstructed by co-assembling Illumina MiSeq sequences from three single cells sorted by microfluidics from two methanogenic alkane-degrading cultures. Peptococcaceae SCADC (short-chain alkane-degrading culture) may be genetically capable of anaerobic alkane activation by fumarate addition in the absence of sulfate.
