Introduction
Methanocatella gottschalkii HOT (formerly Methanobrevibacter gottschalkii) is a type strain isolated from the enrichment of horse faeces[1]. M. gottschalkii, along with Methanobrevibacter ruminantium, comprises about 74% of total archaeal OTUs from rumen samples collected across a wide range of geographical regions, hosts, and diets[2]. This universality makes them methanogens of particular interest to the Global Methane Hub, as it enables strategies to mitigate methane emissions by targeting these dominant methanogens.

Genomic DNA (gDNA) of M. gottschalkii HO (collection number: DSM 11977, OCM 817) was extracted using NEB Monarch® Spin gDNA Extraction Kit following manufacturer protocols for gram-positive bacteria and archaea, except that lysozyme was replaced with phage pseudomurein endoisopeptidase of Methanocatella smithii PS (PeiS); an Escherichia coli strain encoding the PeiS gene was kindly provided by Prof. Metcalf (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign).
The extracted gDNA was sequenced with Oxford Nanopore, then assembled with Flye[3] and polished with medaka (https://github.com/nanoporetech/medaka). The assembled genome was evaluated for completeness and contamination using QUAST[4] and CheckM2[5]. Bakta v1.12.0[6] with database v6.0 full (https://github.com/oschwengers/bakta) was used for genome annotation. All these bioinformatics analyses were performed at the Virginia Tech Advanced Research Computing (VT-ARC) facility.

The methylome was analyzed using MIJAMP[7]. 4mC and 5mC methylation motifs were not present in this isolate.

Culturing Conditions
M. gottschalkii HO is cultivated in GMH-VT2 medium at 37°C and 50 rpm with a 30 psig gas mixture of H2:CO2 (80:20, v/v) as an energy substrate for 24-48 h. This methanogen can also be cultivated on GMH-VT2 plates using 1.5% gelrite or 2% agar as a gelling agent with a 12 to 30 psig H2:CO2 (80:20, v/v) gas mixture as an energy substrate. Visible growth on plate is usually observable within 2-5 days. The viability of M. gottschalkii HO on agar plates is 10-30 times higher than that of those grown on gelrite plates.
