Gluconobacter is a genus of bacteria in the acetic acid bacteria family. They prefer sugar-rich environments, so are sometimes found as a spoilage organism in beer. They are not known to be pathogenic but can cause rot in apples and pears. They are used alone or with acetobacter for microbial degradation of ethanol
Species
A number of species are in the genus, such as:
Gluconobacter albidus
Gluconobacter asaii
Gluconobacter cerevisiae was isolated from fermenting lambic beer in 2014 and proposed as a new species.
Gluconobacter cerinus
Gluconobacter frateurii
Gluconobacter japonicus
Gluconobacter kanchanaburiensis
Gluconobacter kondonii
Gluconobacter nephelii
Gluconobacter oxydans is probably the best known, because it has a number of applications in biotechnology.
Gluconobacter sphaericus
Gluconobacter thailandicus
Gluconobacter uchimurae
Gluconobacter wancherniae
