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 or with acetobacter for microbial degradation of ethanol [1]

They are Gram-negative, aerobic, and rod-shaped acidophilic bacteria belonging to the α-subclass of the Proteobacteria. The genus Gluconobacter has been comprised of different species and subspecies (Table 25.2). Their type strains and isolation sources have been listed in …

2005年1月23日 · Gluconobacter oxydans is unsurpassed by other organisms in its ability to incompletely oxidize a great variety of carbohydrates, alcohols and related compounds. Furthermore, the organism is...

Gluconobacter oxydans is a well-known acetic acid bacterium that has long been applied in the biotechnological industry. Its extraordinary capacity to oxidize a variety of sugars, polyols, and alcohols into acids, aldehydes, and ketones is advantageous …

AAB, particularly strains of the genus Gluconobacter that possess an enormous oxidative capacity, can be used for oxidative conversion of d-sorbitol to l-sorbose, an important intermediate in the industrial production of l-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) (8, 10).

1999年1月1日 · Gluconobacter sp. is a bacterial genus part to the Acetobacteraceae family, and bacteria belonging to this genus perform the incomplete oxidation of sugars to the corresponding carboxylic acids.

As such, Gluconobacter is an important industrial microbial strain, but it also finds use in other fields of biotechnology, such as biosensor-technology. This review aims to give an overview of the myriad of applications for Gluconobacter, with a special focus on some recent developments.

Gluconobacter sp. is a non-model organism with remarkable advantages as a biocatalyst. It has been used for the biotransformation of more than 35 different compounds. Immobilisation, bioreactor selection or Design of Experiments (DOE) have intensified its biotransformations.

We report for the first time (i) the isolation of a Gluconobacter sp. from human clinical samples; (ii) the successive isolation of different AAB, i.e., an Asaia sp. and two unrelated Gluconobacter spp., from a cystic fibrosis patient; and (iii) persistent colonization of the respiratory tract by a Gluconobacter sp. in this patient. We reviewed ...
