Acetobacter aceti

WLP690 Acetobacter aceti is a gram-negative rod bacterium commonly known as the organism responsible for vinegar production. Acetobacter aceti will oxidize ethanol into acetic acid and is found in many fermented products. This organism can be used as part of a kombucha culture, or can be used as a pure culture for vinegar production.

Ideal temperature is 25-30C for growth but will more slowly oxidize ethanol at 20C.
