# Draft genome sequence of Methanocalculus natronophilus sp. strain Z-7105T, an alkaliphilic, methanogenic archaeon isolated from a soda lake

## TL;DR

This paper presents the draft genome of a new archaeon found in an alkaline soda lake in Russia.

## Contribution

The study provides the first draft genome sequence of Methanocalculus natronophilus sp. strain Z-7105T.

## Key findings

- The archaeon was isolated from Lake Tanatar II, an alkaline soda lake in Altai, Russia.
- The draft genome sequence is reported for this newly identified methanogenic archaeon.

## Abstract

A methanogenic archaeon was isolated from bottom sediments in the vicinity of Lake Tanatar II (Altai, Russia), an alkaline soda lake. Here we present the draft genome sequence of Methanocalculus natronophilus sp. strain Z-7105T.
