ACINETOBACTER GANDENSIS
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Acinetobacter |
| Species: | Acinetobacter gandensis |
| Description: | Cells are Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, oxidase-negative, catalase-positive, non-motile coccobacilli. Colonies on tryptic soy agar (Oxoid) after 24 h incubation at 30°C are 1.5–2.5 mm in diameter, circular, convex, smooth and slightly opaque, with entire margins. Growth occurs in Brain- Heart Infusion (Oxoid) at temperatures ranging from 25°C to 37°C, but not at 41°C. Colonies are capable of growing in mineral media with acetate as sole carbon source and ammonia as sole source of nitrogen, incapable of dissimilative denitrification. |
