Acetobacter

Comments

 
Picture
Acetobacter is bacteria converting alcohol to acetic acid and oxidizing lactate and acetate into carbon dioxide and water. 
It is used in the commercial production of vinegar, as fermentation starter cultures, and is found in gut microbiomes of some living organisms. 

Acetobacter aceti bacteria are a widespread group of gram-negative, obligate aerobic rods which oxidize ethanol (alcohol) into ethanoic (acetic) acid. They occur mainly in sugary, acidic and/or alcoholic surroundings and play a positive, neutral, or detrimental roles in food and beverages. It can be found in mangoes, bananas, sugar cane, sweet potato, coffee, cameroon grass, ragi, tea, pineapple, and mealy bugs.

Acetobacter aceti causes cloudiness or haziness, ropiness, discoloration, and a change in flavor in some beer. It can also infect wine, producing acetic acid and ethyl acetate levels that make the drink unpalatable.

​Acetobacter orientalis is nitrogen-fixing bacteria found in sugar cane, rice vinegar (komesu, kirosu), Caucasian yogurt ("Caspian Sea Yogurt). It can be also found in the gut of fruit flies.

Acetobacter hetogenum and Gluconacetobacteria dominate microbial communities in fermented tea kombucha.

​Gluconacetobacter xylinus - formerly known as Acetobacter xylinum, xylinus and also called Gluconacetobacter kombuchae and Gluconacetobacter hansenii, produces microbial cellulose, used in the Filipino desert Nata de coco. ​
