Description |
Gram-negative bacteria of the genus Acinetobacter are classified in the
gamma subdivision of the Gram-negative proteobacteria and more precisely on the
Moraxellaceae branch. Isolates of Acinetobacter are characterized as strictly
aerobic non-motile heterotrophic mesophiles, capable of utilising a great
variety of substrates as carbon sources, from alkanes to organic acids,
especially aromatic ones. The Acinetobacter sp. strain ADP1 is a
nutritionally versatile soil bacterium, closely related to representatives of
the well-characterized Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas
putida (Ref.1).
Glutathione in Acinetobacter sp. is a
tripeptide, composed of glutamate, cysteine and glycine, and has numerous
important functions within the bacterial cell. This tripeptide is specifically a
thiol compound, present in the highest concentration in all types of cells.
During Glutathione metabolism, the laevorotatory [...] |
