ACETOBACTER BROTH (GLUCOSE)

Acetobacter species are aerobic, gram negative organisms. Acetic acid bacteria are found in fruits with high carbohydrate concentration, which is selective for yeasts that produce ethanol. This ethanol forms the substrate for acetic acid bacteria and may oxidize ethanol to acetic acid. Various synthetic and maintenance media for Acetobacter cultures have been cited. A typical maintenance medium is Acetobacter Broth. Acetobacter Broth is formulated as per Manual of Microbiological Methods and used for the maintenance of Acetobacter species utilizing glucose.
