Acinetobacter haemolyticus explained

Acinetobacter haemolyticus is a species of bacterium.^[1] Its type strain is ATCC 17906. It is potentially pathogenic.^[2]

Acinetobacter Haemolyticus can be used as a promising microorganism for Cr(VI) reduction from industrial waste waters.

Acinetobacter Haemolyticus or ZYL is a new aerobic denitrifying bacterium. The strain could use nitrate, nitrite and ammonium as the sole N-source for growth with a final product of N2, demonstrating its good abilities for aerobic denitrification and heterotrophic nitrification.
