Abstract
The sp. was isolated from brewery yeast. In a malt extract medium at pH 4.5 or lower it forms large capsules and a voluminous viscid sediment, whereas at pH values above 4.9 the capsules are smaller and the deposit is powdery. Its ability to form a starch-like polysaccharide is a characteristic which has not been noted in the case of any other Acetobacter sp.Keywords
