Draft genome sequence of Bacillus alcalophilus AV1934, a classic alkaliphile isolated from human feces in 1934

Abstract

Bacillus alcalophilus AV1934, isolated from human feces, was described in 1934 before microbiome studies and recent indications of novel potassium ion coupling to motility in this extremophile. Here, we report draft sequences that will facilitate an examination of whether that coupling is part of a larger cycle of potassium ion-coupled transporters.
