Linkage of the Nitrilase-Encoding Nit1C Gene Cluster to Cyanotrophy in Acinetobacter haemolyticus
Description:
The Nit1C cluster is a conserved gene cluster of seven genes that confers bacterial growth on cyanide as the sole nitrogen source. Bacteria with this ability are referred to as cyanotrophs. To date, the linkage between Nit1C and cyanotrophy has only been demonstrated for environmental isolates but the cluster also exists in certain medically related bacteria. In this study, a nosocomial isolate, Acinetobacter haemolyticus ATCC 19194, carrying Nit1C also displayed the ability to grow on cyanide.…
