Abstract

Methylocella tundrae T4^T is a facultative aerobic methanotroph which was isolated from an acidic tundra wetland and possesses only a soluble methane monooxygenase. The complete genome, which includes two megaplasmids, was sequenced using a combination of Illumina and Nanopore technologies. One of the megaplasmids carries a propane monooxygenase gene cluster.
