Acinetobacter baumannii NIPH 410

Acinetobacter baumannii NIPH 410 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium characterized as a chemoheterotrophic aerobe. This organism is notable for its free-living nature and is typically found in multiple habitats, indicating its adaptability to diverse environmental conditions. A. baumannii NIPH 410 has a single replicon and features a double membrane structure, which is characteristic of its classification within the Proteobacteria phylum. The bacterium is non-motile, despite possessing flagella, which may suggest a role in attachment or other functions rather than in movement. Its optimal growth temperature is 37°C, aligning it with mesophilic organisms that thrive in moderate temperature ranges. This temperature preference underscores its potential for pathogenicity in warm-blooded hosts, as many pathogenic bacteria have evolved to grow at human body temperature. In terms of ecological relationships, A. baumannii NIPH 410 exists as a free-living organism, which may allow it to occupy various ecological niches and contribute to microbial diversity in its habitats. The ability to utilize a heterotrophic energy source further supports its role in nutrient cycling within these environments. Understanding the traits of A. baumannii NIPH 410 can provide insights into its ecological roles and potential implications in both natural and clinical settings. The accession number for this strain is ATGJ00000000.1, allowing for further study and verification of its genetic and phenotypic characteristics.
