Acetic acid bacteria (AAB) are versatile organisms involved in the production of variety of fermented foods, such as vinegar and kombucha, and products of biotechnological relevance, such as bacterial cellulose. In the present study, Malatya apricot, a variety with protected designation of origin (PDO), and vinegar samples produced using various fruits were used to isolate AAB. The 19 AAB isolates obtained were typed using (GTG)5 fingerprinting, and the ones selected were identified by sequencing either 16S rDNA alone or in combination with 16S-23S rRNA internal transcribed spacer region or ligA gene. While all apricot isolates (n = 10) were Gluconobacter cerinus, vinegar isolates (n = 9) were composed of Komagataeibacter saccharivorans, Acetobacter syzygii, and possible two new species of AAB, Komagataeibacter sp., and Gluconobacter sp. (GTG)5 fingerprinting showed the presence of several genotypes of G. cerinus in the apricot samples. Screening for some technologically relevant properties, including thermotolerance, ethanol tolerance, and cellulose production capability, showed that all Komagataeibacter and some Gluconobacter isolates could tolerate the temperature of 35℃, and that vinegar isolates could tolerate up to 8% ethanol. One isolate, Komagataeibacter sp. GUS3 produced bacterial cellulose (1 g/l) and has the potential to be used for cellulose production.

In other to produce vinegar using Schizandra chinensis Ballon(omija), acetic acid bacteria(AAB) were selected from several conventional vinegars, and total 30 acetic acid bacterial strains were isolated. Among the isolated strains, a strain was selected from medium containing omija juice which showed the highest productivity of acetic acid. The strain was identified as Acetobacter sp. C5-1b. Optimum conditions for acetic acid production of Acetabacter sp. C5-1b were involved with 30t: of fermentation temperature and shaking culture. The acidity of culture medium was reached to 5.3% after 8 days shaking cultivation at 30℃.

Acetic acid bacteria (AAB) convert ethanol to acetic acid through oxidation, and the fermentation pathway of AAB is important in the vinegar industry. The genus Acetobacter is the representative one of AAB, and several Korean traditional vinegars are produced using Acetobacter strains. Until now, four species in the genus Acetobacter were reported as native species in Korea. During the past two years, we isolated several AAB strains from fruits, flowers and fermented foods, and several AAB species unrecorded in Korea were found on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses. In this study, we report eight Acetobacter species as native ones which are A. fabarum C10-3 (=KACC 21483) isolated from plumcot fruit (Naju-si), A. lovaniensis KDG-EC1 (=KACC 22697) isolated from diced radish kimchi (Naju-si), A. okinawensis GAM12-M2 (=KACC 22696) isolated from persimmon fruit (Sangju-si), A. orientalis FR32C4 (=KACC 22370) isolated from fruit of Cudrania tricuspidata (Jeonju-si), A. papaya FR35B3 (=KACC 22046) isolated from grape fruit (Yeongdong-gun), A. suratthaniensis GAM15-R2 (=KACC 22694) isolated from persimmon fruit(Gimje-si), A. syzygii C25-1 (=KACC 22048) isolated from peach fruit (Namwon-si) and A. thailandicus JDF1-M1 (=KACC 22693) isolated from plum fruit(Seoul).

Sixteen acetic acid bacteria (AAB) were isolated from blueberries and citric fruits of the Salto Grande region (Concordia, Entre Rios, Argentina) using enrichment techniques and plate isolation. Enrichment broths containing ethanol and acetic acid enabled maximum AAB recovery, since these components promote their growth. Biochemical tests allowed classification of the bacteria at genus level. PCR-RFLP of the 16S rRNA and PCR-RFLP of the 16S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer allowed further classification at the species level; this required treatment of the amplified products of 16S and 16S-23S ITS ribosomal genes with the following restriction enzymes: AluI, RsaI, HaeIII, MspI, TaqI, CfoI, and Tru9I. C7, C8, A80, A160, and A180 isolates were identified as Gluconobacter frateurii; C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, A70, and A210 isolates as Acetobacter pasteurianus; A50 and A140 isolates as Acetobacter tropicalis; and C9 isolate as Acetobacter syzygii. The bacteria identified by 16S rRNA PCR-RFLP were validated by 16S-23S PCR-RFLP; however, the C1 isolate showed different restriction patterns during identification and validation. Partial sequencing of the 16S gene resolved the discrepancy.

The aims of this novel work were to determine the microbial strains and exopolysaccharide (EPS) producers in water kefir from Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand. Thirty-three microbial strains were identified using 16S rRNA gene analysis consisting of 18 bacterial strains, as 9 strains of acetic acid bacteria (AAB), 9 strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), and 15 yeast strains. All bacteria were able to produce EPS with a diverse appearance on agar media containing different sugars at a concentration of 8%. Culture supernatants from AAB and LAB showed 31-64% 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity with the highest antioxidant activity of 64% from Acetobacter pasteurianus WS3 and WS6. Crude EPS from A. pasteurianus WS3 displayed the highest ferric reducing antioxidant power at 280 mM $FeSO_4/g$ EPS, greatest anti-tyrosinase activity at 20.35%, and highest EPS production of 1,505 mg EPS/L from 8% sucrose. These microbes offer beneficial health implications and their EPSs can be used as food additives and cosmetic ingredients.

Several genera belonging to the family Acetobacteraceae were generally considered to be acetic acid bacteria (AAB) which produce acetic acid from alcohols using an oxidation pathway. Some species of the family Acetobacteraceae have been of interest to the industry due to their capability to produce vinegar. In 2018-2020, several bacterial strains were isolated from plants, fruits and vinegar in various regions of the Republic of Korea. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences, seven species classified into the family Acetobacteraceae were found to be ones unrecorded in the Republic of Korea, including two Asaia species, one Gluconacetobacter species, three Gluconobacter species and one Komagataeibacter species. As a result, we report Asaia lannensis AF11C3 (=KACC 22050) isolated from plant Chrysanthemum zawadskii, Asaia platycodi AF15C2 (=KACC 22051) isolated from plant Isodon inflexus, Gluconacetobacter liquefaciens C23-3 (=KACC 22064) isolated from fruit of Pyrus pyrifolia, Gluconobacter cerinus BGF2-R2 (=KACC 22053) isolated from fruit of Prunus armeniaca, Gluconobacter kondonii FR39A4 (=KACC 22388) isolated from persimmon fruit, Gluconobacter thailandicus FR36C4 (=KACC 22057) isolated from fruit of Pseudocydonia sinensis and Komagataeibacter melaceti SPV-2 (=KACC 22058) isolated from potato vinegar.

증자법과 무증자법에 의하여 제조된 탁주 및 약주5종을 검체로 하여 주정도, pH, 산도, 당도 그리고 탁도 등의 이화학 분석을 수행하고, 각각의 검체에 분포하고 있는 총균수, 진균수, 젖산균수, 초산균수, 그리고 대장균 및 대장균 군수를 비교 분석하였다. 각 검체별 이화학 실험 결과 주정도는 증자 및 무증자 탁주의 평균 주정도 3.5% 보다 무증자 약주의 주정도 (7%)가 두배정도 높은 것으로 보아 무증자 약주가 증자 및 무증자 탁주보다 발효기간이 긴 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 각 검체별 pH는 평균 pH 4로 였으며, 산도는 평균 0.25정도로 각각의 검체 모두 비슷한 수치를 나타내었다. 각 검체별 당도는 증자 및 무증자 탁주의 평균당도 (4.4 brix) 보다 무증자 약주의 평균당도 (12 brix)가 3배 정도 높았다. 마지막으로 각 검체의 탁도는 무증자 약주의 O.D값이 0.01로 증자 및 무증자 탁주의 평균 O.D값인 3보다 현저하게 낮았다. 각 검체별 미생물수 측정 결과 총균수는 증자 및 무증자 탁주보다 무증자의 균수가 $10^4$배 정도 적었다. 진균수는 총균수와 마찬가지로 증자 및 무증자 탁주보다 무증자 약주가 $10^4$배정도 적었다. 젖산균수는 무증자 탁주와 무증자 약주가 증자 탁주보다 균수가 $10^3$배 정도 적었으며, 각각 모든 겁체들이 다른 총균 및 진균에 비하여 적은 젖산균을 가지고 있었다. 각각의 검체 내에서 초산균수는 $10^2-10^6\;CFU/mL$ 범위 내에 있었으며, 각각의 검체별로 약간의 균수 차이만 나타날 뿐, 제조방법(증자법과 무증자법, 혹은 탁주와 약주)에 따른 균수의 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 대장균 및 대장균군수는 모든 검체에서 비검출 되었다.
