Acetobacter pasteurianus NBRC 3278

Acetobacter pasteurianus NBRC 3278 is a Gram-negative, non-motile bacterium belonging to the bacilli shape category. This organism is a chemoheterotroph, meaning it derives its energy from organic compounds. It exhibits an aerobic oxygen requirement, thriving in environments where oxygen is present. The optimal growth temperature for A. pasteurianus NBRC 3278 is 30°C, and it falls within the mesophilic temperature range. Notably, this strain is nonsporulating and possesses a single replicon. A. pasteurianus NBRC 3278 is often isolated from dairy environments, indicating its potential role in dairy fermentation processes. Its presence in such habitats suggests a symbiotic biotic relationship, likely contributing to the fermentation and preservation of dairy products. The study of Acetobacter pasteurianus NBRC 3278 can provide insights into its ecological roles in dairy ecosystems, particularly in the context of microbial interactions and fermentation processes. Understanding its traits and behavior can help in optimizing dairy product quality and safety, illustrating the significance of this bacterium in industrial applications. The accession number for further research and reference is BDEV00000000.1.
