The taxonomic status of seven glucose-non-acidifying, non-proteolytic Acinetobacter strains characterized by forming small colonies on agar media was studied. With one exception, all strains were from human specimens. They could be distinguished from all described Acinetobacter (genomic) species by their ability to grow on ethanol and acetate as sole sources of carbon but not on 22 other substrates tested including DL-lactate or DL-4-aminobutyrate. DNA–DNA hybridization studies, 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, amplified rDNA restriction analysis and DNA polymorphism analysis by AFLP showed that these strains represent a hitherto unknown species of the genus Acinetobacter, for which the name Acinetobacter parvus (type strain LMG 21765T=LUH 4616T=NIPH 384T=CCM 7030T) is proposed.
Published online ahead of print on 20 June 2003 as DOI 10.1099/ijs.0.02631-0.
The EMBL accession numbers for the 16S rRNA gene sequences of Acinetobacter parvus LMG 21765T and LMG 21766 are AJ293691 and AJ293690, respectively.
