''Acinetobacter haemolyticus'' is a species of bacterium.
Its type strain is ATCC 17906. It is potentially
pathogenic
In biology, a pathogen ( el, πάθος, "suffering", "passion" and , "producer of") in the oldest and broadest sense, is any organism or agent that can produce disease. A pathogen may also be referred to as an infectious agent, or simply a ger ...
.
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.
