Acetic Acid Bacteria Supplements that Possibly Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease

Deoxyribonucleic Acid Hybrids of Acetic Acid Bacteria.

De Ley, J. (State University, Ghent, Belgium), and S. Friedman. Deoxyribonucleic acid hybrids of acetic acid bacteria. J. Bacteriol. 88:937-945. 1964.-Deuterated N(15)-labeled deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from Acetobacter aceti (mesoxydans 4) forms hybrids with ordinary DNA from other species of this genus (A. xylinum, A. pasteurianus, A. estunensis, and possibly A. xylinoides) when the guanine ...

Coenzyme linked dehydrogenases of acetic acid bacteria.

Utilization of ethanol by acetic acid bacteria.

It is well known that the acetic acid bacteria can rapidly oxidize ethanol to acetic acid. But whether ethanol can serve as a source of carbon and energy for these bacteria has not been clearly established. Pasteur (1868) noted that Mycoderma aceti which is undoubtedly Acetobacter aceti (Frateur, 1950) can grow well in ethanol media only if acetic acid is also present. Addition of one or two pe...

Nutrition of the acetic acid bacteria.

Relatively little information is available on the specific nitrogen and growth factor requirements of the acetic acid bacteria. The early observation of Hoyer (1898) and of Beijerinck (1898) that only Acetobacter aceti can develop in a mineral salts-ammonium nitrogen medium with ethanol plus acetate as the source of carbon has acquired taxonomic and diagnostic value for this and, more recently,...

Fumigation of Fruit with Acetic Acid to Prevent Postharvest Decay

Acetic acid (AA) as a vapor at low concentrations was effective in preventing fruit decay by postharvest fungi. Fumigation with 2.7 or 5.4 mg AA/liter in air at 2 and 20C reduced germination of Botrytis cinerea Pers. and Penicillium expansum Link conidia to zero after they had been dried on 0.5-cm square pieces of dialysis tubing. Decay of ‘Golden Delicious’, ‘Red Delicious’, and ‘Spartan’ appl...
