ACINETOBACTER NECTARIS
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Acinetobacter |
| Species: | Acinetobacter nectaris |
| Description: | Cells are Gram-negative,aerobic, oxidase-negative, catalase-positive, non-motile coccobacilli, generally occurring in pairs. All strains tested can grow at decreased oxygen concentrations, but not under anaerobic conditions.Growth occurs at moderate temperatures (e.g. 25 and 30°C), but not at 4, 37 and 41°C. Colonies on TSA medium are round and smooth, convex to umbilicate, 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 Muscari comosum (L.) Mill. (Hyacinthaceae) collected in the surroundings of Doñana’s Natural Park (Huelva province, SW Spain) |
