Abstract

We describe the draft genome sequence of "Candidatus Methylomonas sp. LWB" isolated from Movile Cave microbial mat samples. The genome contains both the soluble and particular methane monooxygenase; however, one of the putative particulate methane monooxygenase gene clusters is ordered pmoABC rather than in the canonical gene arrangement of pmoCAB.
