Non-cellulose-producing mutant derived from Acetobacter aceti ATCC 23747
ATCC
Strain Data:
Cells are Gram-stain-negative, motile, coccoid rods, approximately 1 µm wide and 1.5–2.5 µm long. Cells occur singly or in pairs. Catalase and oxidase activity is present. On LMG medium 404 agar 5 %, w/v, d-glucose; 1 %, w/v, yeast extract (Oxoid) and 1.5 %, w/v agar, colonies are round, smooth, beige and slightly raised, with a diameter of approximately 1 mm after 2 days of incubation. Able to produce 2-keto-d-gluconic and 5-keto-d-gluconic acid from d-glucose. Able to grow on d-fructose, d-sorbitol and glycerol as single carbon sources, but not on maltose or methanol. Able to grow on ammonium as sole nitrogen source with ethanol as carbon source. Able to grow on yeast extract containing 30 % d-glucose and on standard medium with pH 3.6 or containing 1 % NaCl. Able to produce acid from d-arabinose weakly. The predominant fatty acid is C18 : 1ω7c; other fatty acids present in significant amounts are C14 : 0 2-OH, C16 : 0, C16 : 0 2-OH and C18 : 0.
