Abstract

Methylomonas koyamae LM6 is a potential methanotrophic bacterium of interest for methane bioconversion. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of M. koyamae LM6, which contains 4,337 predicted open reading frames on one chromosome (4,894,002 bp) and one plasmid (186,658 bp), with genes involved in methane oxidation.
