Abstract excerpt
The bacterium Acinetobacter baylyi is a model organism known for its extreme natural competence and metabolic versatility. It is capable of taking up environmental DNA at a high rate across all growth phases. The type strain ADP1 was created by random mutagenesis of a precursor strain, BD4, to prevent it from forming cell chains in culture. ADP1 has since been distributed between research groups over several...
