Abstract
Anoxybacillus flavithermus strain AK1 was isolated from Al-Ain Alhara, a thermal hot spring located 50 km southeast of the city of Gazan, Saudi Arabia (16°56ʹN, 43°15ʹE). The sequenced and annotated genome is 2,630,664 bp and encodes 2,799 genes.
Highlights
Anoxybacillus flavithermus strain AK1 was isolated from Al-Ain Alhara, a thermal hot spring located 50 km southeast of the city of Gazan, Saudi Arabia (16°56=N, 43°15=E)
The thermophile Anoxybacillus flavothermus was first discovered in a hot spring by Heinen et al [1]
The strain was initially recognized as Bacillus flavothermus based on the proteins it was found to express by biochemical analyses [2,3,4]
Summary
Anoxybacillus flavithermus strain AK1 was isolated from Al-Ain Alhara, a thermal hot spring located 50 km southeast of the city of Gazan, Saudi Arabia (16°56=N, 43°15=E). The thermophile Anoxybacillus flavothermus was first discovered in a hot spring by Heinen et al [1]. The strain was initially recognized as Bacillus flavothermus based on the proteins it was found to express by biochemical analyses [2,3,4]. The genus name of the strain remained unchanged until 2000, when Pikuta and coworkers [5] conducted a detailed study primarily based on the genetics of a similar strain, A. pushchinensis K1T, isolated from animal manure.
