Acinetobacter radioresistens DSM 6976 = NBRC 102413 = CIP 103788

Acinetobacter radioresistens DSM 6976 (also known as NBRC 102413 and CIP 103788) is a Gram-negative bacterium that requires oxygen for growth, classifying it as an aerobe. This organism possesses a single replicon, which is indicative of its genomic structure. The genome of Acinetobacter radioresistens is documented under the accession number APQF00000000.1. Acinetobacter species are often noted for their resilience in various environments, and A. radioresistens is no exception. Its classification as an aerobic organism suggests that it thrives in oxygen-rich environments, which may include soil and water reservoirs where it can influence nutrient cycling and microbial community dynamics. The ecological role of Acinetobacter radioresistens, particularly its ability to tolerate radiation as suggested by its name, may also have implications in bioremediation processes. Understanding the specific traits of this bacterium, including its Gram-negative nature and aerobic metabolism, can provide insights into its potential applications in environmental microbiology and biotechnology. Further studies could elucidate its capabilities and interactions within ecosystems, particularly in conditions where other organisms may struggle to survive.
