Acetobacter pasteurianus NBRC 3299

Acetobacter pasteurianus NBRC 3299 is a Gram-negative, non-motile bacillus that thrives in aerobic environments. This organism is classified as a chemoheterotroph, indicating that it relies on organic compounds as its energy source. It is primarily isolated from dairy habitats, suggesting a potential role in fermentation processes associated with dairy products. The optimal growth temperature for A. pasteurianus NBRC 3299 is around 30°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range. This characteristic is significant for its application in various fermentation processes, especially in the dairy industry, where temperature control is crucial for product quality. A. pasteurianus NBRC 3299 possesses one replicon and does not undergo sporulation, which highlights its reproductive strategy in stable environments where conditions are conducive to growth. The absence of flagella reinforces its non-motile status, relying instead on environmental conditions and interactions for dispersal. Ecologically, A. pasteurianus NBRC 3299 exhibits a symbiotic relationship, which may enhance its survival and proliferation in dairy ecosystems. This trait can facilitate interactions with other microorganisms, contributing to the complex dynamics of microbial communities in fermented dairy products. The organism's ability to thrive in such environments underscores its importance in the dairy industry and its potential impact on flavor and preservation of fermented products. The accession number for this strain is BDEZ00000000.1, which can be used for further research and identification.
