Acinetobacter baumannii 940793

Acinetobacter baumannii strain 940793 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium characterized by its aerobic metabolism as a chemoheterotroph. This organism is free-living and typically found in multiple habitats, which may include soil, water, and various environments contaminated with organic matter. Acinetobacter baumannii is notable for its lack of mobility, as it does not possess flagella, yet it has a complex cellular structure with two membranes and a single replicon. The optimal growth temperature for this strain is 37°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range. This temperature preference aligns with the conditions found in warm-blooded hosts, suggesting potential associations with human pathogens, though the specific ecological roles in its natural habitats remain to be fully elucidated. The presence of two membranes is characteristic of Gram-negative bacteria, which can influence its interactions with antibiotics and environmental stresses. This trait, combined with its heterotrophic lifestyle, allows A. baumannii to thrive in diverse ecological niches, potentially contributing to its persistence and adaptability in various environments. The accession number for this strain is JMNW00000000.1, allowing for further research and characterization. Overall, Acinetobacter baumannii 940793 exemplifies the ecological versatility of bacteria in the genus, highlighting their significant roles in both environmental and clinical contexts.
