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,...

Multiple Genome Sequences of Heteropolysaccharide-Forming Acetic Acid Bacteria

We report here the complete genome sequences of the acetic acid bacteria (AAB) Acetobacter aceti TMW 2.1153, A. persici TMW 2.1084, and Neoasaia chiangmaiensis NBRC 101099, which secrete biotechnologically relevant heteropolysaccharides (HePSs) into their environments. Upon genome sequencing of these AAB strains, the corresponding HePS biosynthesis pathways were identified.
