| Abstract | Anoxybacillus flavithermus AK1 is a thermophilic bacterium that is able to survive at temperatures ranging from 55 to 60°C. The
AK1 strain was isolated from the hot spring “Al-Ain Alhara” located at a
distance of 50 km southeast of the city of Gazan, Saudi Arabia. This study
presents the morphological characterization of A. flavithermus AK1, including a
detailed description of its complete genome sequence. A total of 50 contigs
were used to produce a genome sequence of 2,630,664 bp that includes 2724
protein-coding genes and 75 RNA genes, 18 of which are rRNA genes. A comparison
of this genome sequence with those of Anoxybacillus flavithermus strains
that were previously submitted to NCBI revealed that the AK1 strain has the
smallest genome size with the highest GC content. The strain can therefore be
exploited for several biotechnological applications based on its high
thermophilic potential.
