Complete genome sequence of Methanosphaerula palustris E1-9CT, a hydrogenotrophic methanogen isolated from a minerotrophic fen peatland

Abstract

Here, we report the complete genome sequence (2.92 Mb) of Methanosphaerula palustris E1-9CT, a methanogen isolated from a minerotrophic fen. This is the first genome report of the Methanosphaerula genus, within the Methanoregulaceae family, in the Methanomicrobiales order. E1-9CT relatives are found in a wide range of ecological and geographical settings.
