Draft genome and alcohol dehydrogenase dataset of thermoanaerobacter uzonensis bacterium strain AK85.

ABSTRACT: Thermoanaerobacter uzonensis strain AK85 belongs to the Thermoanaerobacter genus, which comprises rod-shaped, Gram-positive, thermophilic, obligate anaerobic bacteria. Members of this genus exhibit unique fermentation qualities, such as prolific ethanol production, and can generate longer-chain alcohols from carbohydrate and amino acid sources. Here we present the draft genome sequence of Thermoanaerobacter uzonensis strain AK85, which was previously isolated from a hot spring in Graensdalur in Southwestern Iceland. The genome was sequenced with a 150 bp paired-end library on a MGISEQ-2000. The assembled genome comprises 2,577,794 bp and a GC ratio of 33.69 %. With an ANI of 96.9 % strain AK85 was determined to be a strain of Thermoanaerobacter uzonensis. Annota
