Gluconobacter is a genus of bacteria in the acetic acid bacteria family. They prefer sugar-rich environments, so are sometimes found as a spoilage organism in beer. They are not known to be pathogenic but can cause rot in apples and pears. They are used alone with acetobacter for microbial degradation of ethanol[1]
Species[]
A number of species are in the genus, such as:[2]
- was isolated from fermenting lambic beer in 2014 and proposed as a new species.[3]
- is probably the best known, because it has a number of applications in biotechnology.[4]
- Gluconobacter thailandicus
