“…However, studies aimed at defining the gross topological structure and organization of bacterial genetic material are currently somewhat unfashionable, and, as far as the genus Acinetobacter is concerned, there have been few significant advances since it was demonstrated that strain EBF 65/65 had a circular chromosomal linkage map (198). A total of 29 genetic loci have been mapped on the chromosome of strain EBF65/65 (222), but only one study has examined possible transposon insertion sites in the chromosome of this genus (199).…”

“…This plasmid, originally isolated from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is capable of mobilizing the Acinetobacter chromosome and transferring chromosomal genes between different mutant auxotrophic derivatives of strain EBF 65/65. Another plasmid, pAV1 (distinct from pAV1 described in Table 8), transferred genes at frequencies up to 10%, i.e., at a rate about 1000-fold higher than RP4 (Vivian, 1991). A variety of plasmids can be transferred by conjugation to Acinetobacter from enteric bacteria, although not all are stably maintained (Towner, 1991a).…”

“…The occurrence of bacteriophages, as potential mediators of gene transfer, has been well documented for Acinetobacter (Vivian, 1991;Ackermann et al, 1994). Strains of Acinetobacter differ in their susceptibility to bacteriophages, which are often readily obtained from sludge effluent.…”
