Cells were Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, oxidase-negative, non-motile coccobacilli, capable of growth in mineral media with acetate as the sole carbon source and ammonia as the sole source of nitrogen. The cells did not grow at 37 °C, but did grow at 2 °C. The DNA G+C content was 45.5 mol%. Results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated a close relationship between this isolate and Acinetobacter lwoffii (98.4 % similarity for strain DSM 2403T). rpoB and gyrB gene sequences did not show significant similarity with those from other species of the genus Acinetobacter . Predominant cellular fatty acids were 9-octadecenoic acid (C18 : 1ω9c) and summed feature 4 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1ω7c). Acid was not produced from d-glucose, and gelatin was not hydrolysed by the isolate. Genotypic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data from this study indicate that the isolate should be classified as a representative of a novel species of the genus Acinetobacter . The name Acinetobacter harbinensis sp. nov. is proposed for the novel species, with HITLi 7T ( = CGMCC 1.12528T = KCTC 32411T) as the type strain.", }
