Draft Genome Sequence of Methanobacterium paludis IBT-C12, Recovered from Sediments of the Apatlaco River, Mexico.

Methanobacterium paludis is a hydrogenotrophic archaea first described in 2014 and isolated from a peatland area. So far, there is only one sequenced genome of this taxon. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of M. paludis IBT-C12, a metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) from sediments in the Apatlaco River, Mexico.
