Alkaliphilic sp. strain TS-1, newly isolated from the jumping spider, showed Na-independent growth and motility. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of this bacterium, which may provide beneficial information for Na-independent alkaline adaptation mechanisms. The draft genome sequence of sp. strain TS-1 was 3,396,165 bp in total length and comprised 3 large contigs (2,699,404 bp, 691,278 bp, and 5,483 bp) that was deposited at DDBJ/ EMBL/GenBank under the accession number BASQ00000000. The annotation of the draft genome sequence indicated that this bacterium has 3 sets of genes, which encode multisubunit secondary cation/proton antiporter-3 family proteins for pH homeostasis. The annotation also indicated that this bacterium has genes involved in chemotaxis/flagellar components, including one set of genes.
