Project description:Methylophaga lonarensis strain MPL(T) is a haloalkaliphilic methylotroph isolated from Lonar Lake, a saline and alkaline lake in Maharashtra, India. Strain MPL(T) utilizes methanol as its sole carbon and energy source. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of M. lonarensis MPL(T) (VKM B-2684(T) = MCC 1002(T)).
