Genome Sequence of the Lanthanide-Responsive Methylotrophic Bacterium Methylorubrum extorquens Strain GM97.

We present the complete genome sequence of Methylorubrum extorquens strain GM97, which formed large colonies on a 1/100 nutrient plate with samarium (Sm 3+ ). The genome for strain GM97 was estimated to be 7,608,996 bp, which suggests that the strain is closely related to Methylorubrum extorquens strains.
