Complete genome sequence of the chloromethane-degrading Hyphomicrobium sp. strain MC1

J Bacteriol. 2011 Sep;193(18):5035-6. doi: 10.1128/JB.05627-11.

Abstract

Hyphomicrobium sp. strain MC1 is an aerobic methylotroph originally isolated from industrial sewage. This prosthecate bacterium was the first strain reported to grow with chloromethane as the sole carbon and energy source. Its genome, consisting of a single 4.76-Mb chromosome, is the first for a chloromethane-degrading bacterium to be formally reported.
