Draft Genome Sequence of Methylocapsa palsarum NE2 T , an Obligate Methanotroph from Subarctic Soil

ABSTRACT Methylocapsa palsarum NE2 T is an aerobic, mildly acidophilic, obligate methanotroph. Similar to other Methylocapsa species, it possesses only a particulate methane monooxygenase and is capable of atmospheric nitrogen fixation. The genome sequence of this typical inhabitant of subarctic wet...

Description
Summary:ABSTRACT Methylocapsa palsarum NE2 T is an aerobic, mildly acidophilic, obligate methanotroph. Similar to other Methylocapsa species, it possesses only a particulate methane monooxygenase and is capable of atmospheric nitrogen fixation. The genome sequence of this typical inhabitant of subarctic wetlands and soils also contains genes indicative of aerobic anoxygenic photosynthesis.
