# Draft genome sequence of the Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius strain LH1, isolated from a highly acidic solfatara field

## TL;DR

This paper presents the draft genome of a heat-resistant bacteria found in a highly acidic environment in the Chilean Andes.

## Contribution

The study provides a new draft genome sequence for industrial biotechnology research.

## Key findings

- The genome of Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius strain LH1 was sequenced.
- The strain was isolated from a highly acidic solfatara in the Chilean Andes.

## Abstract

The Alicyclobacillaceae are known for their ability to produce thermostable industrial catalysts, including endonucleases and hydrolases. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius strain LH1, isolated from a highly acidic Andean solfatara in the Chilean Andes.
