The optimum growth temperature for A. sacchari is 45-50 °C, and can grow in the 30-55 °C range. The optimum pH is 4.0-4.5, and cannot grow at pH 2.0 or pH 6.0.
A. sacchari was found during a Japanese survey of various beverages and environments, which also discovered 5 other species of Alicyclobacillus: A. contaminans, A. fastidiosus, A. kakegawensis, A. macrosporangiidus, A. contaminans, and A. shizuokensis.
