Abstract
Methyloligella halotolerans С2T is a moderate halophilic obligate methylotroph, accumulating ultra-high-molecular-weight poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (up to 8 to 10 MDa) from methanol. Here we report a draft genome and annotation of Methyloligella halotolerans C2T (VKM B-2706T = CCUG 61687T = DSM 25045T).
Highlights
Methyloligella halotolerans C2T is a moderate halophilic obligate methylotroph, accumulating ultra-high-molecular-weight poly-3-hydroxybutyrate from methanol
The genus Methyloligella currently includes two species with validly published names, M. solikamskensis SK12T and M. halotolerans C2T, that were isolated from biotopes under strong geochemical and technogenic pressure (1)
The genes encoding enzymes involved in biosynthesis of the two pterins H4MPT and H4F, as well as the glutathione-dependent formaldehydeactivating enzyme, were identified
Summary
Methyloligella halotolerans C2T is a moderate halophilic obligate methylotroph, accumulating ultra-high-molecular-weight poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (up to 8 to 10 MDa) from methanol. We report the draft genome sequence of strain C2, the type strain of the genus. Strain C2T is a mesophilic and neutrophilic, non-methaneutilizing methylotroph with the serine pathway of C1 assimilation. The draft genome sequence of M. halotolerans C2T was determined using the semiconductor genome analyzer Ion Torrent PGM (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) using a 400-bp sequencing kit and 318 v2 chip.
