Acinetobacter venetianus

Acinetobacter venetianus is a species of bacteria notable for degrading n-alkanes. It harbours plasmids carrying sequences similar to the Pseudomonas oleovorans alkane hydroxylase gene alkBFGH.^[1] Its potential for bioremediation is an active research topic, particularly its role in the production of the bioemulsifier emulsan. Its type strain is RAG-1^T(=ATCC 31012^T=CCUG 45561^T=LMG 19082^T=LUH 3904^T=NIPH 1925^T).^[2]
