Abstract
Strain IMCC14736, isolated from Korean coastal seawater by dilution-to-extinction culturing, represents a novel member of the OM43 clade within Methylophilaceae. The complete genome consists of a single contig of 1,286,469 bp with a DNA G + C content of 34.3% and encodes 1,358 predicted proteins. Genomic analysis revealed lanthanide-dependent methanol dehydrogenase genes and related C1 metabolism pathways. Based on phylogenetic evidence, the authors propose the name "Candidatus Methylolitoribacter marinus" for this strain.
