Acetobacter
Sign in to saveAcetobacter 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. Bacteria of the genus Acetobacter have been isolated from industrial vinegar fermentation processes and are frequently used as fermentation starter cultures.

Acetobacter es un género de bacterias del ácido acético caracterizado por su habilidad de convertir el alcohol (etanol) en ácido acético en presencia de aire. Hay muchas especies en este género y también otras bacterias son capaces de formar ácido acético bajo varias condiciones; pero todas son reconocidas por esta habilidad característica.
