Methanobrevibacter wolinii SHT
Introduction
Methanarmilla wolinii SHT
Methanarmilla wolinii SHT (DSM 11976), formerly Methanobrevibacter wolinii, is a hydrogenotrophic methanogen isolated from sheep faeces in the USA [1]. Characteristics of the culture have been described [1]. SH is the type strain of the species, and taxonomic revision resulted in the genus name being changed to Methanarmilla [2].
SH is the only isolate recorded for this species, but it is no longer available from DSMZ.
The draft genome for SH (2,041,814 bp) was generated through the Hungate1000 project with JGI [3]. Resequencing gave a genome of 2,067,659 bp. Analysis of the SH genome sequence has identified genes for alcohol and aldehyde dehydrogenases (HCBCBKED_00294-295) indicating that SH may be able to use alcohols as an alternative source of reducing potential for methanogenesis [4].
