Draft Genome Sequences of Eight Obligate Methane Oxidizers Occupying Distinct Niches Based on Their Nitrogen Metabolism

The genome sequences of Methylomonas methanica (NCIMB 11130T, R-45363, and R-45371), Methylomonas koyamae (R-45378, R-45383, and R-49807), Methylomonas lenta (R-45370), and Methylosinus sp. (R-45379) were obtained. These aerobic methanotrophs were isolated from terrestrial ecosystems, and their distinct phenotypes related to nitrogen assimilation and dissimilation were previously reported.
