Draft Genome Sequence of “
Candidatus
Methanomethylophilus” sp. 1R26, Enriched from Bovine Rumen, a Methanogenic Archaeon Belonging to the
Methanomassiliicoccales
Order
ABSTRACT
Here, we present the draft genome of “
Candidatus
Methanomethylophilus” sp. 1R26, a member of the newly described
Methanomassiliicoccales
order of
Euryarcheaota
. The enrichment culture was established from bovine rumen contents and produced methane from trimethylamine and methanol. The draft genome contains genes for methanogenesis from methylated compounds.
