| diverse dna damage responses in acinetobacter include the capacity for dna damage-induced mutagenesis in the opportunistic pathogens acinetobacter baumannii and acinetobacter ursingii. | error-prone and error-free dna damage repair responses that are induced in most bacteria after exposure to various chemicals, antibiotics, or radiation sources were surveyed across the acinetobacter genus. the error prone sos mutagenesis response occurs when dna damage induces a cell's umudc- or dinp-encoded error-prone polymerases. the model acinetobacter baylyi strain adp1 possesses an unusual, regulatory umud allele (umudab) with an extended 5' region, and only incomplete fragments of umuc. d ... | 2011 | 22117008 |
| acinetobacter beijerinckii sp. nov. and acinetobacter gyllenbergii sp. nov., haemolytic organisms isolated from humans. | the taxonomic status of 24 haemolytic, non-glucose acidifying acinetobacter strains that did not belong to any previously described species was investigated by means of a polyphasic approach. using aflp fingerprinting, amplified rdna restriction analysis and phenotypic characterization, the strains were classified into two phenetically coherent groups (comprising 15 and 9 strains) that were distinct from each other and from all known acinetobacter species. confirmation that these groups formed t ... | 2009 | 19126734 |
| isolation of biosurfactant producers, optimization and properties of biosurfactant produced by acinetobacter sp. from petroleum contaminated soil. | aims: to screen and identify biosurfactant producers from petroleum contaminated soil; to use response surface methodology (rsm) for medium optimization to enhance biosurfactant production; to study the properties of the newly obtained biosurfactant toward ph, temperature and salinity. methods and results: we successfully isolated three biosurfactant producers from petroleum contaminated soil and identified them through 16s rrna sequence analysis, which exhibit the highest similarities to acin ... | 2012 | 22268814 |
| acinetobacter kookii sp. nov., isolated from soil. | two gram-stain-negative, non-fermentative bacterial strains, designated 11-0202(t) and 11-0607, were isolated from soil in south korea, and four others, luh 13522, luh 8638, luh 10268 and luh 10288, were isolated from a beet field in germany, soil in the netherlands, and sediment of integrated fish farms in malaysia and thailand, respectively. based on 16s rrna, rpob and gyrb gene sequences, they are considered to represent a novel species of the genus acinetobacter. their 16s rrna gene sequence ... | 2013 | 23950148 |
| optimization of nutrient component for diesel oil degradation by acinetobacter beijerinckii zrs. | a new bacterial strain that is capable of using diesel as the sole carbon source was isolated from the petroleum-contaminated soil of xinjiang oil field, northwest china. this bacterium was identified on the basis of its morphological and physiological characteristics and 16s rrna gene sequence analysis, and it showed the greatest similarity with acinetobacter beijerinckii 302-pwb-oh1 (99.86%). in order to enhance degradation efficiency, single-factor experiments and response surface methodology ... | 2013 | 24070455 |
| characterization and application of a novel bioemulsifier in crude oil degradation by acinetobacter beijerinckii zrs. | bioemulsifiers can be applicated in a variety of areas such as bioremediation and microbial-enhanced oil recovery. the present study was aimed at bioemulsifier production, optimization, stability studies, and applications of the bioemulsifier produced by one of these strains, acinetobacter beijerinckii zrs. when acinetobacter beijerinckii zrs is cultured with hexadecane as a carbon source, it produces a novel extracellular emulsifying agent that does not cause remarkable reductions in surface te ... | 2016 | 26576943 |
| acinetobacter sp. hm746599 isolated from leatherback turtle blood. | a newly described bacterial isolate, acinetobacter sp. hm746599, has been obtained from leatherback sea turtle hatchling blood. the implication is that the hatchling was infected during development in the egg, which is substantiated by other studies to be reported by us in the future. the 16s rrna gene sequence of the bacterium (genbank accession number: hm746599) showed the greatest similarity to the identified species, acinetobacter beijerinckii (97.6-99.78%) and acinetobacter venetianus (99.7 ... | 2011 | 21707734 |
