High-quality draft genome of the methanotroph Methylovulum psychrotolerans Str. HV10-M2 isolated from plant material at a high-altitude environment.

Here we present the genome of Methylovulum psychrotolerans strain HV10-M2, a methanotroph isolated from Hardangervidda national park (Norway). This strain represents the second of the two validly published species genus with a sequenced genome. The other is M. miyakonense HT12, which is the type strain of the species and the type species of the genus Methylovulum. We present the genome of M. psychrotolerants str. HV10-M2 and discuss the differences between M. psychrotolerans and M. miyakonense . The genome size of M. psychrotolerans str. HV10-M2 is 4,923,400 bp and contains 4415 protein-coding genes, 50 RNA genes and an average GC content of 50.88%.
