Species of bacterium
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-1T (=ATCC 31012T =CCUG 45561T =LMG 19082T =LUH 3904T =NIPH 1925T ).[ 2]
