Acinetobacter pittii

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

The gut microbiota (including Acinetobacter pittii) contributes to the production of volatile chemical attractants (VCAs) that act as fecal aggregation agents, and cockroaches discriminate among the complex odors that emanate from a diverse microbial community.
