Draft genome sequence of "Candidatus Methanomethylophilus" sp. 1R26, enriched from bovine rumen, a methanogenic archaeon belonging to the Methanomassiliicoccales order

Abstract

Here, we present the draft genome of "Candidatus Methanomethylophilus" sp. 1R26, a member of the newly described Methanomassiliicoccales order of Euryarcheaota. The enrichment culture was established from bovine rumen contents and produced methane from trimethylamine and methanol. The draft genome contains genes for methanogenesis from methylated compounds.
