Draft genome sequence data of a psychrophilic tundra soil methanotroph, Methylobacter psychrophilus Z-0021 (DSM 9914).

ABSTRACT: Psychrophilic methanotrophic bacteria are abundant and play an important role in methane removal in cold methanogenic environments, such as boreal and arctic terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. They could be also applied in the bioconversion of biogas and natural gas into value-added products (e.g., chemicals and single-cell protein) in cold regions. Hence, isolation and genome sequencing of psychrophilic methanotrophic bacteria are needed to provide important data on their functional capabilities. However, psychrophilic methanotroph isolates and consequently their genome sequences are rare. Fortunately, Leibniz Institute, DSMZ-German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures GmbH was able to revive the long-extinct pure culture of a psychrophilic methanotrophic tundra soil isolate, <
