Microbial Diversity of Acetic Acid Producing Bacteria from Protein-Rich Residues

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,...

Preliminary Report of NAD+-Dependent Amino Acid Dehydrogenase Producing Bacteria Isolated from Soil

Amino acid dehydrogenases (L-amino acid: oxidoreductase deaminating EC 1.4.1.X) are members of the wider superfamily of oxidoreductases that catalyze the reversible oxidative deamination of an amino acid to its keto acid and ammonia with the concomitant reduction of either NAD+, NADP+ or FAD. These enzymes have been received much attention as biocatalysts for use in biosensors or diagnostic kit...
