Draft genome sequence of Methylobacterium mesophilicum strain SR1.6/6, isolated from Citrus sinensis

Abstract

Methylobacterium mesophilicum strain SR1.6/6 is an endophytic bacterium isolated from a surface-sterilized Citrus sinensis branch. Ecological and biotechnological aspects of this bacterium, such as the genes involved in its association with the host plant and the primary oxidation of methanol, were annotated in the draft genome.
