Genus of bacteria
Acetobacter is a
genus of
acetic acid bacteria. Acetic acid bacteria are characterized by the ability to convert
ethanol to
acetic acid in the presence of
oxygen. Of these, the genus Acetobacter is distinguished by the ability to
oxidize
lactate and
acetate into
carbon dioxide and
water.
[2] Bacteria of the genus Acetobacter have been isolated from industrial
vinegar fermentation processes and are frequently used as fermentation
starter cultures.
[3]
History of research
The acetic fermentation was demonstrated by
Louis Pasteur, who discovered the first acetobacter -
Acetobacter aceti - in
1864.
In 1998, two strains of Acetobacter isolated from
red wine and
cider vinegar were named
Acetobacter oboediens and
Acetobacter pomorum.
[4]
In 2000, Acetobacter oboediens and
Acetobacter intermedius were transferred to
Gluconacetobacter on the basis of
16S rRNA sequencing.
[5]
In 2002,
Acetobacter cerevisiae and
Acetobacter malorum were identified by 16S rRNA sequence analysis of Acetobacter strains.
[2]
In 2006, a strain of Acetobacter isolated from spoiled red wine was named
Acetobacter oeni.
[6]
Microbiota
The genus Acetobacter contains species which are important
commensal bacteria in the
gut microbiome of
Drosophila melanogaster.
[7]
[8] The species
A. pomorum specifically helps uphold the physiology and development of D. melanogaster through insulin/
insulin-like growth factor signaling.
