Complete Genome Sequence of Methanothermobacter sp. Strain THM-1, a Thermophilic and Hydrogenotrophic Methanogen Isolated from an Anaerobic Reactor in South Korea

Abstract

Methanothermobacter sp. strain THM-1, a thermophilic and hydrogenotrophic methanogen, was isolated from an anaerobic reactor enriched with thermophilic methanogens. The genome of THM-1 shares 98.81% of its sequence with Methanothermobacter wolfeii isolate SIV6 and consists of 1,724,502 bp with 1,665 protein-coding genes, 50 noncoding RNAs, and a GC content of 48.6%.
