A draft whole-genome sequence was obtained for Acinetobacter guangdongensis strain KCTC 42012 T and compared against those of the type strains of all Acinetobacter species with validly published names. High similarity was found to Acinetobacter indicus CCM 7832 T (average nucleotide identity based on blast and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values of 96.3 and 70.4 %, respectively). In addition, the metabolic, physiological and chemotaxonomic features of KCTC 42012 T were shown to be congruent with those of A. indicus. We conclude that Acinetobacter guangdongensisFeng et al. 2014 is a later heterotypic synonym of Acinetobacter indicus Malhotra et al. 2012.
