A ubiquitous and pink-pigmented facultatively methylotrophic bacterium, designated LRY1–08 (=JCM 33120), was isolated from a lichen in Thailand. Strain LRY1–08 and Methylobacterium durans NBRC 112876T shared 99.92 % similarity based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence. The draft genome of LRY1–08 was 5.26 Mbp with 4,952 protein-coding sequences and an average G + C content of 70.0 mol%. Comparing strain LRY1–08 to M. durans NBRC 112876T, the ANIb, ANIm, AAI, and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values were 96.29 %, 97.10 %, 96.7 %, and 82.29 %, respectively. Based on the phenotypic characteristics and genome analysis, it was identified as M. durans. Its genomic sequence data revealed the PHB and CoQ10 biosynthesis genes. Therefore, the results offer suggestions for further investigation into possible applications of this bacterium in biotechnology. The draft genome was deposited at DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank (DNA Databank of Japan/European Molecular Biology Laboratory/Genbank) (JAYEEX000000000).
