Abstract
The present article reports the draft genome sequence of the strain Acetobacter malorum CECT 7742, an acetic acid bacterium isolated from strawberry vinegar. This species is characterized by the production of d-gluconic acid from d-glucose, which it further metabolizes to keto-d-gluconic acids.
Highlights
The present article reports the draft genome sequence of the strain Acetobacter malorum CECT 7742, an acetic acid bacterium isolated from strawberry vinegar
The genus Acetobacter is included in the group of acetic acid bacteria (AAB), which are Gram-negative bacteria from the family Acetobacteraceae
Its main characteristic is the incomplete oxidation of a wide range of carbohydrates and alcohols yielding the corresponding ketones, aldehydes, and acids that are left in the media [3]
Summary
The present article reports the draft genome sequence of the strain Acetobacter malorum CECT 7742, an acetic acid bacterium isolated from strawberry vinegar. Acetobacter malorum was proposed as new species in 2002 [1] after a polyphasic study of 34 Acetobacter strains. This strain was isolated in rotten apples in Ghent (Belgium) and initially classified as Acetobacter pasteurianus. The genus Acetobacter is included in the group of acetic acid bacteria (AAB), which are Gram-negative bacteria from the family Acetobacteraceae.
