Acetic Acid Bacteria: Physiology and Carbon Sources Oxidation

Abstract: Acetic acid bacteria (AAB) are obligately aerobic bacteria within the family Acetobacteraceae, widespread in sugary, acidic and alcoholic niches. They are known for their ability to partially oxidise a variety of carbohydrates and to release the corresponding metabolites (aldehydes, ketones and organic acids) into the media. Since a long time they are used to perform specific oxidation reactions through processes called ''oxidative fermentations'', especially in vinegar production. In the last decades physiolo… Show more

“…Many acetic acid bacteria are aerobic and form biofilms (pellicle) on the surface of culture broth (Kersters et al, 2006;Komagata et al, 2014;Mamlouk and Gullo, 2013). Cellulose produced by Komagataeibacter xylinus (∫G.…”

“…11,[17][18][19][20][21][22] Similarly to fungi -albeit with different enzymes -, these bacteria oxidize glucose virtually stoichiometrically to GA via glucono-δ-lactone. 21 The oxidation reaction occurs in the bacterial periplasm and is effected by a membrane-bound pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (PQQ-GDH) located in the outer side of the cytoplasmic membrane; glucose and the resulting GA may undergo other biotransformation reactions depending on the particular operating conditions.…”
