Query: NC_014259:3369000 Acinetobacter sp. DR1 chromosome, complete genome Lineage: Acinetobacter oleivorans; Acinetobacter; Moraxellaceae; Pseudomonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria General Information: This strain is capable of degrading paraffin, n-hexadecane, diesel. Acinetobacter sp. DR1 is a diesel degrader Gram-negative bacterium isolated from the soil of rice paddies in Soth Korea. They are found in many different habitats, including soil, water, and sewage, as well as in a variety of foodstuffs. They are also members of the normal microflora of human skin, and have been implicated as a presumed causative or contributory agent of numerous nosocomial (in-hospital) infections, especially those in immunocompromised individuals. Due to their genomic versatility, these bacteria are highly adaptive to treatment with various antibiotic reagents.

General Information: This bacterial endosymbiont was isolated from the preblastoderm embryos of the Pel strain of Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes. This group of bacteria are associated with a variety of invertebrate species, some as pathogens, some in a symbiotic or other type of relationship. Typically these organisms are transmitted maternally from mother to daughter transovarially (through the egg) although these bacteria can affect their hosts reproductive capabilities in order to enhance transmission. The net outcome is the increase of hosts carrying the bacteria in the next generation, thereby increasing transmission.
