Acinetobacter pragensis str. ANC 4149

Acinetobacter pragensis strain ANC 4149 is a Gram-negative, spherical bacterium characterized by its aerobic metabolism and non-motile nature. This organism possesses a single replicon, which is indicative of its genetic organization, and its genomic information is cataloged under the accession number LUAW00000000.1. The Gram-negative classification of A. pragensis suggests a complex cell wall structure, typically characterized by a thin peptidoglycan layer and an outer membrane containing lipopolysaccharides. These traits are crucial for understanding its interactions with the environment and potential pathogenicity. The aerobic requirement indicates that A. pragensis relies on oxygen for growth, which may influence its ecological niches, particularly in environments where oxygen is readily available. The non-motile characteristic signifies that this bacterium does not possess flagella or other structures for movement, potentially limiting its ability to colonize new environments or evade host defenses. Understanding the mobility of A. pragensis is essential for assessing its ecological role and interactions with other microorganisms. In summary, Acinetobacter pragensis str. ANC 4149 exhibits specific traits that define its biological classification and ecological behavior. Its Gram-negative nature, aerobic growth requirement, and non-motility may influence its survival strategies and environmental interactions, underscoring the importance of these traits in studying microbial ecology and potential clinical implications.
