ACINETOBACTER BOISSIERI
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Acinetobacter |
| Species: | Acinetobacter boissieri |
| Description: | Cells are Gram-negative,aerobic, oxidase-negative, catalase-positive, non-motile coccobacilli, generally occurring in pairs. All strains can grow at decreased oxygen concentrations, but not under anaerobic conditions. Growth occurs between 4°C and higher temperatures such as 30°C, but not at 37°C or 41°C. Colonies on TSA medium are round, convex to umbilicate, smooth, slightly opaque, with entire margins and (<)0.5–2.5 mm in diameter after 5 days of incubation at 25°C. |

| Source: | The type strain is isolated from floral nectar of the plant species Fritillaria lusitanica Wikstr. (Liliaceae) collected in the surroundings of Donana’s Natural Park (Huelva province,SW Spain). |
