Complete Genome Sequence of the Hydrogenotrophic Archaeon Methanobacterium sp., Isolated from a Production-Scale Biogas Plant. Methanobacterium sp. MB1

Methanobacterium sp. MB1 is a hydrogenotrophic methanogenic Archaeon isolated from a rural biogas plant producing methane-rich biogas from maize silage and cattle manure in Germany. Here we report the complete genome sequence of the novel methangenic isolate Methanobacterium sp. Mb1 that encodes several signal transducing histidine kinases and has the potential to produce osmolytes.
