Gene database of Methanobrevibacter ruminantium M1

Methanobrevibacter ruminantium is a ruminant methanogen, and could serve as indicator of faecal pollution in waters. This work sought to provide foundational information about the genetic repertoire of Methanobrevibacter ruminantium M1 through parsing the annotated genome sequence of the archaeon downloaded from Genbank. Comprising gene name, gene function, and gene sequence, the resource should be useful for preliminary analysis of the metabolic capability of the ruminant, as well as informing functional genomics study of the archaeon.
