Draft Genome Sequence from a Putative New Genus and Species in the Family Methanoregulaceae Isolated from the Anoxic Basin of Lake Untersee in East Antarctica

Here, we report the draft genome sequence for a new putative genus and species in the Methanoregulaceae family, whose members are generally slow-growing rod-shaped or coccoid methanogenic archaea. The information on this sediment-dwelling organism sheds light on the prokaryotes inhabiting isolated, deep, and extremely cold methane-rich environments.
