For characterizing the radiation‐resistant Acinetobacter strain FO‐1 reported in the previous paper (1980), we investigated the structure of cell wall, the cellular fatty acid composition, and the detailed taxonomic characteristics. The results denoted that the cell division occurred by simple constriction with the formation of a slight septum and the intermediate dense layer between the outer membrane and the plasma membrane was seen, the main components of the cellular fatty acids were oleic acid, palmitic acid, and palmitoleic acid, and that the strain was tolerant to salt and could not produce acids from cellobiose, melibiose, lactose, and ribose.
