Acinetobacter nectaris explained

Acinetobacter nectaris is a gram-negative, oxidase-negative, catalase-positive, strictly aerobic nonmotile bacterium from the genus Acinetobacter isolated from floral nectar pollinated by Mediterranean insects in the Doñana National Park in the Huelva Province in Spain.^{[1] [2] [3]} Bacterial communities, including microbes identified as A. nectaris are closely associated with plant communities; other strains of bacteria (Gluconoacetobacter, Erwinia and Rhizobium) have been found in environments that mother bees visit.^[4] This bacterium was first characterized in 2013.
