Introduction
Sharpea azabuensis KH1P5 is a high-interest microbe to the Global Methane Hub. It produces a thick, mucoidal layer of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) that requires removal before work with the culture.

DefenseFinder Results
Methylome
While S. azabuensis KH1P5 possesses two putative Type II restriction endonucleases, no methylation is detectable in the isolate. Also, these two genes do not methylate in E. coli strains, suggesting that they're vestigial defense systems.
