The main taxonomic characteristic of the genus Acetobacter as presently described is the ability to oxidize ethanol to acetic acid (Breed et al., 1948), although some species carry the oxidation further. Of particular interest is the demonstration that Acetobacter aceti produces citrate when supplied acetate and intermediates of the TCA2 cycle (Antoniani et al., 1950). This species thus appears...

Underkofler et al. (1943) first demonstrated that pantothenic acid is an essential requirement for Acetobacter suboxydans, ATCC 621, and that this organism responds to pantolactone in a pantothenate deficient medium. j5-Alanine, however, is not able to replace pantothenic acid. Subsequently, Sarett and Cheldelin (1945) described the assay of pantolactone using the same strain of A. suboxydans. ...

Suanzhou as a traditional Chinese gruel is fermented from proso millet and millet. The biochemical analysis showed Suanzhou had relatively high concentrations of lactic acid, acetic acid, and free amino acids. The metagenomics of Suanzhou were studied, with the analysis of the V4 region of 16S rRNA gene, the genera Lactobacillus and Acetobacter were found dominant with the average abundance of ...

Nitrogen is an essential plant nutrient, widely applied as N-fertilizer to improve yield of agriculturally important crops. An interesting alternative to avoid or reduce the use of N-fertilizers could be the exploitation of plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB), capable of enhancing growth and yield of many plant species, several of agronomic and ecological significance. PGPB belong to diverse...

Bacterial cellulose- Curcuma Longa Linn from acetobacter xylinum has been produced. The aim of research: To isolate Cellulose-Curcuma Acetobacter and to improve activity catalitic bacterial cellulose. Morphology properties was carried out on sample cellulose extract. This characteristic test by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).
