Abstract
Robust growth of the gammaproteobacterium Methylomicrobium buryatense strain 5G on methane makes it an attractive system for CH4-based biocatalysis. Here we present a draft genome sequence of the strain that will provide a valuable framework for metabolic engineering of the core pathways for the production of valuable chemicals from methane.

Robust growth of the gammaproteobacterium Methylomicrobium buryatense strain 5G on methane makes it an attractive system for CH4-based biocatalysis
Over the last 10 years, several novel methane-utilizing microbes have been isolated in pure culture but only a few, including Methylomicrobium buryatense strain 5G, show robust growth on methane [5,6,7]
The draft genome was generated at the Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute using Illumina sequencing [8]
