Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT Microbes in flowers play significant roles in host biology. We present the characteristics of the draft genome of Acinetobacter sp. isolated from the nectar of the Maga flower in Puerto Rico. This genome has a total length of 2,546,326 base pairs, a GC content of 36.28%, and 2,555 genes.
