The potassium-dependent alkaliphilic sp. strain TS-2 was isolated from the mashed extract of a jumping spider, and its draft genome sequence was obtained. Comparative genomic analysis with a previously sequenced sodium-dependent alkaliphilic species may reveal potassium-dependent alkaline adaptation mechanisms. The draft genome sequence of sp. strain TS-2 was 4,360,646 bp in total length, comprised 58 large contigs ( 500 bp) that was deposited at DDBJ/EMBL/Genbank under the accession number BAWL00000000. In the draft genome sequence of sp. strain TS-2, two sets of genes, which encode multisubunit secondary cation/proton antiporter-3 family proteins, were annotated. The Mrp complex acts as an Na/H antiporter in typical alkaliphilic species and plays a critical role in the sodium-dependent alkaline adaptation mechanism.
