title: Oxford Nanopore sequencing reads generated from Methylococcus capsulatus (Norfolk) DNA
design: Methylococcus capsulatus (Norfolk) was isolated by inoculating Nitrate Mineral Salt (NMS) medium with soil from a landfill methane biofilter. NMS cultures were supplied with ~20% v/v headspace methane and incubated at 37C, isolates were obtained through repeated cycles of serial dilution plating and culture inoculation. DNA extraction and sequencing was done using the enhanced genome sequencing service at MicrobesNG (Birmingham UK) Long-read libraries used SQK-LSK109 Oxford Nanopore kits and native barcoding expansions EXP-NBD104 or EXP-NBD114. Barcoded samples were sequenced using an Oxford Nanopore GridION platform and FLO-MIN106 (R.9.4.1) flow cell.
