Methyloprofundus sedimenti strain:WF1 Genome sequencing and assembly. Methyloprofundus sedimenti strain:WF1

The genome of the marine methanotroph Methyloprofundus sedimenti, strain WF1, was sequenced. The purpose of acquiring this genome was to investigate how a genus that can interact in unique ways with invertebrate animals may differ from related methanotrophic genera. Single Molecule Real Time technology (PacBio) was used for sequencing. The genome sequence will be broadly useful towards better understanding methanotroph physiology as well as specifically investigating unique features of genus Methyloprofundus.
