| seven novel species of acinetobacter isolated from activated sludge. | thirteen isolates of acinetobacter were obtained from activated sludge plants in victoria, australia. earlier 16s-23s rdna genomic fingerprinting and partial 16s rdna sequence data had suggested that these isolates might contain previously undescribed species. this view was confirmed here. a polyphasic taxonomic approach involving phenotypic characterization, near-complete 16s rdna sequence data and dna-dna hybridization analyses support the view that seven novel genomic species can be different ... | 2003 | 12892111 |
| genome sequencing and annotation of acinetobacter gerneri strain mtcc 9824(t). | the genus acinetobacter consists of 31 validly published species ubiquitously distributed in nature and primarily associated with nosocomial infection. we report the 4.4 mb genome of acinetobacter gerneri strain mtcc 9824(t). the genome has a g + c content of 38.0% and includes 3 rrna genes (5s, 23s16s) and 64 aminoacyl-trna synthetase genes. | 2013 | 26484054 |
| new aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes aph(3')-viii and aph(3')-ix in acinetobacter rudis and acinetobacter gerneri. | analysis of whole-genome sequences of 133 strains of acinetobacter detected two genes for new types of aminoglycoside 3'-o-phosphotransferase [aph(3')], type viii in acinetobacter rudis and ix in a. gerneri. the enzymes were related to each other (49% identity) and to aph(3')-vi (61% and 51% identity, respectively), which is intrinsic to a. guillouiae. the cloned genes conferred kanamycin and amikacin resistance to escherichia coli but were cryptic or expressed at low levels in the original host ... | 2017 | 27965516 |
| molecular characterisation of carbapenemases in urban pigeon droppings in france and algeria. | the main objective of this study was to detect the presence of carbapenemase-encoding genes in stool samples of urban pigeons. | 2017 | 28487209 |
| growth of acinetobacter gerneri p7 on polyurethane and the purification and characterization of a polyurethanase enzyme. | a soil microorganism, designated as p7, was characterized and investigated for its ability to degrade polyurethane (pu). this bacterial isolate was identified as acinetobacter gerneri on the basis of 16 s rrna sequencing and biochemical phenotype analysis. the ability of this organism to degrade polyurethane was characterized by the measurement of growth, sem observation, measurement of electrophoretic mobility and the purification and characterization of a polyurethane degrading enzyme. the pur ... | 2012 | 22228300 |
