unusual features of the sequences of copies of the 16s-23s rrna internal transcribed spacer regions of acinetobacter bereziniae, acinetobacter guillouiae and acinetobacter baylyi arise from horizontal gene transfer events.the highly variable nature of the internal transcribed spacer region (its) has been claimed to represent an ideal target for designing species-specific probes/primers capable of differentiating between closely related acinetobacter species. however, several acinetobacter species contain multiple its copies of variable lengths, and these include acinetobacter bereziniae, acinetobacter guillouiae and acinetobacter baylyi. this study shows these length variations result from inter-genomic insertion ...201525505188
expression of auxin response genes sliaa1 and sliaa9 in solanum lycopersicum during interaction with acinetobacter guillouiae sw5.indole-3-acetic acid (iaa) production is a typical mechanism of plant growth promotion by some rhizobacteria. however, a functional genomic study is necessary to unravel the function and mechanism of iaa signaling during rhizobacteria-plant interactions. in this study, the expression of sliaa1 and sliaa9 among the auxin response genes in tomato was examined during the interaction between iaa-producing acinetobacter guillouiae sw5 and tomato plants. when 3-day grown tomato seedlings were treated ...201525588558
growth inhibition and microcystin degradation effects of acinetobacter guillouiae a2 on microcystis aeruginosa.strain a2 with algicidal activity against microcystis aeruginosa was isolated and identified with the genus acinetobacter on the basis of phenotypic tests and 16s rrna gene analysis. it was identified with the species acinetobactor guillouiae by partial rpob sequence analysis. when 10% (v/v) of the bacterial culture was co-incubated with m. aeruginosa culture, algicidal efficiency reached 91.6% after 7 days. supernatant of a2 culture showed similar algicidal activity, while the cell pellet had l ...201525638018
biochemical and molecular mechanisms involved in simultaneous phenol and cr(vi) removal by acinetobacter guillouiae sfc 500-1a.bioremediation has emerged as an environmental friendly strategy to deal with environmental pollution. since the majority of polluted sites contain complex mixtures of inorganic and organic pollutants, it is important to find bacterial strains that can cope with multiple contaminants. in this work, a bacterial strain isolated from tannery sediments was identified as acinetobacter guillouiae sfc 500-1a. this strain was able to simultaneously remove high phenol and cr(vi) concentrations, and the m ...201525916475
