Genus: | Gluconobacter |
Gluconobacter is a genus of bacteria in the acetic acid bacteria family. They prefer sugar-rich environments, and therefore are sometimes found as a spoilage organism in beer. They are not known to be pathogenic, and can cause rot in apples and pears.[1]
Species
There are a number of species in the genus, such as:[2]
- Gluconobacter albidus
- Gluconobacter asaii
- Gluconobacter cerevisiae was isolated from fermenting lambic beer in 2014 and proposed as a new species.[3]
- Gluconobacter cerinus
- Gluconobacter frateurii
- Gluconobacter japonicus
- Gluconobacter kanchanaburiensis
- Gluconobacter kondonii
- Gluconobacter nephelii
- Gluconobacter oxydans is probably the best known, because it has a number of applications in biotechnology.[4]
- Gluconobacter sphaericus
- Gluconobacter thailandicus
- Gluconobacter uchimurae
- Gluconobacter wancherniae
