Abstract

Twenty-three strains of acetic acid bacteria were isolated by an enrichment culture approach from fruits, flowers, mushrooms, and fermented rice products collected in Thailand. All were assigned to the genus Acetobacter and examined taxonomically for 16S rRNA gene and groEL gene sequences. Based on analysis of 16S rRNA gene and groEL gene sequences, the strains isolated were divided into ten groups: Group 1 comprised four isolates identified as A. tropicalis, Group 2 consisted of three isolates identified as A. indonesiensis, Group 3 had two isolates identified as A. persici, Group 4 was two isolates (A. orientalis), Group 5 was one isolate (A. cibinongensis), Group 6 contained three isolates (A. pasteurianus), Group 7 was one isolate of A. papayae, Group 8 was two isolates identified as A. fabarum, Group 9 was one isolate of A. okinawensis, and Group 10 was four isolates identified as A. ghanensis.
