Acinetobacter calcoaceticus is a bacterial species of the genus Acinetobacter. It is a nonmotile, gram negative coccobacillus. It grows under aerobic conditions, is catalase positive and oxidase negative. It is part of the normal human intestinal flora. Together with A. baumannii, it is referred to as the A. calcoaceticus-A. baumannii complex, which is relatively simple to identify based on the beforementioned phenotypic characteristics. To identify other Acinetobacter species genotyping is required. A. calcoaceticus is a soil bacterium. It has been shown to be prevalent in the tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus microflora. Phloroglucinol carboxylic acid is a degradation product excreted by A. calcoaceticus grown on (+)-catechin as the sole source of carbon. A. calcoaceticus can be pathogenic and cause an opportunistic infection in patients with multiple underlying diseases. A. calcoaceticus can be used as an alternative to A. baumannii in the laboratory setting. The interchangeability of the two ...

Wax ester synthases (WSs) can synthesize wax esters from alcohols and fatty acyl coenzyme A thioesters. The knowledge of the preferred substrates for each WS allows the use of yeast cells for the production of wax esters that are high-value materials and can be used in a variety of industrial applications. The products of WSs include fatty acid ethyl esters, which can be directly used as biodiesel. Here, heterologous WSs derived from five different organisms were successfully expressed and evaluated for their substrate preference in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We investigated the potential of the different WSs for biodiesel (that is, fatty acid ethyl esters) production in S. cerevisiae. All investigated WSs, from Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1, Marinobacter hydrocarbonoclasticus DSM 8798, Rhodococcus opacus PD630, Mus musculus C57BL/6 and Psychrobacter arcticus 273-4, have different substrate specificities, but they can all lead to the formation of biodiesel. The best biodiesel producing strain was found to be

Bacteria of the genus Acinetobacter, with their numerous species common in various habitats, play a significant role as pathogens. Their ability to adapt to different living conditions is largely due to the presence of numerous plasmids containing the necessary adaptive genes. At the same time the diversity of Acinetobacter plasmids and their evolutionary dynamics have not been sufficiently studied. Here, we characterized 44 plasmids isolated from five permafrost Acinetobacter lwoffii strains, examined their relationship with plasmids of modern Acinetobacter strains and identified groups of related plasmids. For this purpose, we have developed a combined approach for classifying all known Acinetobacter plasmids. The classification took into account the size of plasmids, the presence and structure of the rep and mob genes, as well as the structure of their backbone and accessory regions. Based on the analysis, 19 major groups (lineages) of plasmids were identified, of which more than half were small

I am interested in DNA repair mechanisms and recombination. These processes are essential for the protection of organisms from DNA-damaging agents such as ultraviolet light and chemical mutagens. These mechanisms also contribute to the evolution of new traits. Projects in my lab involve using genetic and molecular techniques to study DNA repair and recombination in the bacteria Escherichia coli and Acinetobacter baylyi. In E. coli, DNA damage causes the induction of over 20 genes and this is termed the SOS response. Although the SOS system has served as a model for understanding DNA repair and recombination in other systems such as yeast, plants and humans, there is still much that we dont understand about the SOS response in E. coli. For example, we have not yet identified the precise inducing signal of the SOS response or the biological functions of many of the SOS gene products. It is not yet clear whether A. baylyi exhibits an E. coli-like SOS response. Characterization of DNA repair and ...

By Stewart MacInnis. Spectrum Volume 18 Issue 21 - February 22, 1996 John L. Johnson, whose pioneering research on differential Bacteroides species won him international recognition as a microbiologist, died last Friday (Feb. 16) at his Blacksburg home after a long illness. He was 59.. He was an outstanding scientist, he was an excellent teacher, and he really cared about his work, said W.E.C. Moore, a friend and former colleague of Johnsons. The world lost a top scientist in microbiology.. Moore, then head of the anaerobe laboratory, brought Johnson to Virginia Tech from his post-doctoral studies at the University of Washington-Seattle in 1968. John did his best work here, Moore said.. That work earned Johnson the 1980 Bergeys Manual Trust Award, one of the most prestigious international awards given in his field. The Pasteur Institute of Paris named a bacterial species for Johnson, Acinetobacter johnsonii. That, Moore said, is a sign of exceptional respect and an indication of the ...

SUMMARY Steel and Cowan (1964) designated Schaub's Biol. 1 as the type strain for Bacterium anitratum Schaub and Hauber 1948. However, this strain was not included among those originally studied by Schaub and Hauber (1948) and cannot be recognized (Rule 9d, Note b, Intl. Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria). One of the original strains used by Schaub and Hauber (Schaub 81, American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) 19606, RH 2208) is here designated as the type for B. anitratum Schaub and Hauber 1948. The morphology, physiology, and per cent guanine plus cytosine of strain 81 are described and more than sixty characters of the strain recorded. The characteristics of strain 81 were found to be in good agreement with those given in the original description by Schaub and Hauber (1948).

As part of the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program, a total of 1078 Acinetobacter species and 842 Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolates were collected between January 1997 and December 1999 from 5 geographic regions (Canada, the United States, Latin America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific). The frequency of infections (by geographic region and body site), including those due to imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter species and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ)-resistant S. maltophilia, was evaluated. The possibility of seasonal variations in bloodstream infections caused by Acinetobacter species was studied, as was the activity of several therapeutic antimicrobials against all strains. Acinetobacter species and S. maltophilia were most frequently associated with pulmonary infections, independent of the region evaluated. In contrast, patterns of antimicrobial resistance markedly varied among distinct geographic regions, especially for nosocomial isolates. Although the carbapenems were the ...

Acinetobacter calcoaceticus BD413 accumulates wax esters and triacylglycerol under conditions of mineral nutrient limitation. Nitrosoguanidine-induced mutants of strain BD413 were isolated that failed to accumulate wax esters under nitrogen-limited growth conditions. One of the mutants, Wow15 (without wax), accumulated wax when grown in the presence of cis-11-hexadecenal and hexadecanol but not hexadecane or hexadecanoic acid. This suggested that the mutation may have inactivated a gene encoding either an acyl-acyl carrier protein or acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) reductase. The Wow15 mutant was complemented with a cosmid genomic library prepared from wild-type A. calcoaceticus BD413. The complementary region was localized to a single gene (acr1) encoding a protein of 32,468 Da that is 44% identical over a region of 264 amino acids to a product of unknown function encoded by an open reading frame associated with mycolic acid synthesis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra. Extracts of Escherichia coli ...

Acinetobacter spp. are a diverse group of Gram-negative bacteria frequently implicated in nosocomial infections. Genotypic methods have been instrumental in studying Acinetobacter, but few offer high resolution, rapid turnaround time, technical ease and high inter-laboratory reproducibility, which has hampered understanding of disease incidence, transmission patterns and diversity within this genus. Here, we further evaluated multilocus PCR electrospray ionization/ mass spectrometry (PCR/ESI-MS), a method that is simple and robust, and provides both species characterization and strain-level resolution of Acinetobacter spp. on a single platform. We examined 125 Acinetobacter isolates from 21 hospitals, laboratories and medical centres spanning four counties in Arizona, USA, using PCR/ESI-MS. We compared PCR/ESI-MS with an in-house amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) genotyping scheme. PCR/ESI-MS demonstrated that Acinetobacter spp. from Arizonan hospitals had similar species and strain

Given the growing interest in the production of new and low cost bioemulsifiers, the rice and wheat bran and straw were investigated in this study for the production of bioemulsifier by Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum PTCC 1896 (probiotic). The strain produced bioemulsifier only in the rice bran hydrolysate medium. The bioemulsifier amount reached around 0.7 g L-1 for 72 hours of fermentation. The new biomolecule was extracted, purified, and its structural and thermal properties were evaluated. The functional groups and the structure of the molecule were revealed by GPC, FT-IR, 1HNMR and 13CNMR techniques. The bioemulsifier was a water soluble extracellular high molecular weight (|107 Da) α-glucan (81.74%) bound with protein (18.18%). Thermal behavior was studied using DSC and TG analysis. Thermal analysis showed the bioemulsifier broke down above 211.74°C, and the melting point was 182.0°C with the enthalpy value of 101.7 J g-1. These results might provide incentives for the industrial

Acinetobacter (/ˌæsɪˈniːtoʊbæktər/) is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria belonging to the wider class of Gammaproteobacteria. Acinetobacter species are oxidase-negative, exhibit twitching motility, and occur in pairs under magnification. They are important soil organisms, where they contribute to the mineralization of, for example, aromatic compounds. Acinetobacter species are a key source of infection in debilitated patients in the hospital, in particular the species Acinetobacter baumannii. Species of the genus Acinetobacter are strictly aerobic, nonfermentative, Gram-negative bacilli. They show mostly a coccobacillary morphology on nonselective agar. Rods predominate in fluid media, especially during early growth. The morphology of Acinetobacter species can be quite variable in Gram-stained human clinical specimens, and cannot be used to differentiate Acinetobacter from other common causes of infection. Most strains of Acinetobacter, except some of the A. lwoffii strain, grow well on ...

This study developed a bioinformatics method to identify AbaRs in 3,148 publicly available A. baumannii genomes and analyzed their distribution, insertion sites, and features of antimicrobial resistance gene profiles.. AbaRs are known to be diverse but have been mapped to several closely related transposon backbones (8-11). This study has identified conserved sequences at the ends of AbaRs that actually reflect the relatedness of their backbones. Thus, the term AbaR (AbaR-type genomic island) used in this study broadly refers to a class of mobile genetic elements whose structures are based on these closely related backbones. AbaRs are prevalent in A. baumannii and are likely confined to the genus Acinetobacter. AbaRs seems to have distinct distributions in different clones, but further epidemiological studies are required, as the current A. baumannii genome database may be biased toward clinical isolates of certain clones. AbaRs occurred in non-baumannii Acinetobacter strains at low frequencies. ...

Bacterial infections due to Acinetobacter species are typically encountered in health care settings and can be particularly difficult to treat due to the propensity of the organism to incorporate multiple antibiotic resistance mechanisms. Hospital outbreaks of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter infections have been reported. A wide range of infections are possible with this organism, including bloodstream infections, pneumonia (occasionally even community-acquired pneumonia), urinary tract infections, and wound infections (wound infection in soldiers after traumatic injury have been reported ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp. are found to be associated with biofilm and metallo-β-lactamase production and are the common causes of serious infections mainly in hospitalized patients. So, the main aims of this study were to determine the rates of biofilm production and metallo beta-lactamase production (MBL) among the strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp. isolated from hospitalized patients. A total of 85 P. aeruginosa isolates and 50 Acinetobacter spp. isolates isolated from different clinical specimens from patients admitted to Shree Birendra Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal from July 2013 to May 2014 were included in this study. The bacterial isolates were identified with the help of biochemical tests. Modified Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion technique was used for antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Combined disc diffusion technique was used for the detection of MBL production, while Congo red agar method and tube adherence method were used

TY - JOUR. T1 - Comparative genomic analysis of Acinetobacter oleivorans DR1 To determine strain-specific genomic regions and gentisate biodegradation. AU - Jung, Jaejoon. AU - Madsen, Eugene L.. AU - Jeon, Che Ok. AU - Park, Woojun. PY - 2011/10. Y1 - 2011/10. N2 - The comparative genomics of Acinetobacter oleivorans DR1 assayed with A. baylyi ADP1, A. calcoaceticus PHEA-2, and A. baumannii ATCC 17978 revealed that the incorporation of phage-related genomic regions and the absence of transposable elements have contributed to the large size (4.15 Mb) of the DR1 genome. A horizontally transferred genomic region and a higher proportion of transcriptional regulator- and signal peptide-coding genes were identified as characteristics of the DR1 genome. Incomplete glucose metabolism, metabolic pathways of aromatic compounds, biofilm formation, antibiotics and metal resistance, and natural competence genes were conserved in four compared genomes. Interestingly, only strain DR1 possesses gentisate ...

Motility plays an essential role in the host–parasite relationship of pathogenic bacteria, and is often associated with virulence. While many pathogenic bacteria use flagella for locomotion, Acinetobacter baumannii strains do not have flagella, but have other features that aid in their motility. To study the genes involved in motility, transposon mutagenesis was performed to construct A. baumannii mutant strains. Mutant strain MR14 was found to have reduced motility, compared to wild-type ATCC 17978. NCBI BLAST analysis revealed that the Tn10 transposon in the MR14 genome is integrated into the gene that encodes for carboxy-terminal processing protease (Ctp). Additionally, MR14 exhibits a mucoidy, sticky phenotype as the result of increased extracellular DNA (eDNA) caused by bacterial autolysis. Transmission and scanning electron microscopy revealed cytoplasmic content leaving the cell and multiple cell membrane depressions, respectively. MR14 showed higher sensitivity to environmental stressors.

Acinetobacter baumannii bacteria, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). This bacterium has developed resistance to a number of antibiotics and is increasingly seen in opportunistic infections in hospitals. It typically infects the lungs, leading to a form of pneumonia. It can develop resistance to antibiotics even as they are being used to treat an infection. Because of this, and because it is generally found in weakened patients, the mortality rate for infections with A. baumannii is high. In healthy individuals, however, it is a normal part of the skin flora. Magnification: x11,000 when printed 10 centimetres wide. - Stock Image B220/1513
