  Acetobacter - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Acetobacter is a genus of acetic acid bacteria characterized by the ability to convert alcohol (ethanol) to acetic acid in the presence of air.
The growth of Acetobacter in wine can be suppressed through effective sanitation, by complete exclusion of air from wine in storage, and by the use of moderate amounts of sulfur dioxide in the wine as a preservative.
Acetobacter can be easily distinguished in the laboratory by their growth of colonies on a medium containing about 7% ethanol, and enough calcium carbonate to render the medium partially opaque.

Acetobacter are of particular importance commercially, because a) acetobacter are used in the production of vinegar (intentionally converting the ethanol in the wine to acetic acid), and because b) acetobacter can destroy wine which it infects by producing excessive amounts of acetic acid or ethyl acetate, both of which can render the wine unpalatable.

The substrate directed the orientation of the motion due to the inverse force of the secretion during biosynthesis, and the microfibrils were aligned along the orientation of the molecular template.
Furthermore, phylogenetic analysis indicates that the cyanobacterial cellulose synthases share a common branch with CesAs of vascular plants in a manner similar to the relationship observed with cyanobacterial and chloroplast 16s rRNAs, implying endosymbiotic transfer of CesA from cyanobacteria to plants and an ancient origin for cellulose synthase in eukaryotes.
Assuming that the revised acsAB gene (Saxena et al., 1994) encoding the 83 and 93 Kd polypeptides as a single polypeptide holds true for all A. xylinum strains, it is proposed that the cellulose synthase is conserved in A. xylinum but with varying degrees of homology.
