Abstract

We present the draft genome of the bacterium strain AK152, a thermophilic, endospore-spore-forming, anaerobe isolated from a hot spring in Grensdalur, in Southwestern Iceland. This assembled genome will lay the foundation for identifying the carboxylic and amino acid fermentation pathways, suggesting biotechnological applications for this strain.
