Genomic and phenotypic features of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from oil reservoirs reveal a novel subspecies specialized in degrading hazardous hydrocarbons

The genus Acinetobacter encompasses biotechnologically relevant species and nosocomial pathogens. In this study, nine isolates recovered from different oil reservoir samples showed the ability to grow with petroleum as the only carbon source and possessed the ability to emulsify kerosene. The whole...

Zusammenfassung:	The genus Acinetobacter encompasses biotechnologically relevant species and nosocomial pathogens. In this study, nine isolates recovered from different oil reservoir samples showed the ability to grow with petroleum as the only carbon source and possessed the ability to emulsify kerosene. The whole genomes of the nine strains were sequenced and analyzed. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values of all strains were compared to the reference strains, and the results were below the reference values (
