Draft Genome Sequence of Uncultured Upland Soil Cluster Gammaproteobacteria Gives Molecular Insights into High-Affinity Methanotrophy

摘要

Aerated soils form the second largest sink for atmospheric CH4. A near-complete genome of uncultured upland soil cluster Gammaproteobacteria that oxidize CH4 at 2.5?ppmv was obtained from incubated Antarctic mineral cryosols. This first genome of high-affinity methanotrophs can help resolve the mysteries about their phylogenetic affiliation and metabolic potential.
