ACINETOBACTER VARIABILIS
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Acinetobacter |
| Species: | Acinetobacter variabilis |
| Description: | Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, oxidase-negative and catalase-positive coccobacilli typically occurring in pairs, incapable of swimming motility, capable of growing in mineral media with acetate as the sole carbon source and ammonia as the sole source of nitrogen, and incapable of dissimilative denitrification. Colonies on tryptic soy agar (Oxoid) after 24 h incubation at 30°C are 1.0–2.5 mm in diameter, grey–white,slightly opaque, circular, convex and smooth, with entire margins. |
