The ABE fermentation via Clostridium beijerinckii or Clostridium acetobutylicum for instance is characterized by product inhibition. This means that there is a product concentration threshold that cannot be overcome, resulting in a product stream highly diluted in water.

In fermentation, beans that have been removed from their pods are put together in close proximity. Yeasts, lactic acid bacteria and acetic acid bacteria break down pulp surrounding the beans and develop flavor precursors within the bean that create chocolate flavors during roasting. The process also reduces bitterness and gives beans a more ...
Acetogenesis is a process through which acetyl-CoA [1] or acetic acid is produced by anaerobic bacteria through the reduction of CO 2 via the Wood–Ljungdahl pathway.Other microbial processes that produce acetic acid (like certain types of fermentation or the oxidative breakdown of carbohydrates or ethanol by acetic acid bacteria) are not considered acetogenesis.
Acetobacter is a genus of acetic acid bacteria.Acetic acid bacteria are characterized by the ability to convert ethanol to acetic acid in the presence of oxygen.Of these, the genus Acetobacter is distinguished by the ability to oxidize lactate and acetate into carbon dioxide and water. [2]
Acetic acid bacteria (AAB) are a group of Gram-negative bacteria which oxidize sugars or ethanol and produce acetic acid during fermentation. [1] The acetic acid bacteria consist of 10 genera in the family Acetobacteraceae. [1] Several species of acetic acid bacteria are used in industry for production of certain foods and chemicals. [1]
After the fermentation process, the AAB oxidizes the ethanol into acetic acid. The main difference between mother of vinegar and mother of kombucha is the acetic acid tolerance. Vinegar has a higher acetic acid concentration than kombucha, therefore the species in mother of vinegar needs to tolerate higher levels of acetic acid. [10]
It is a stabilization process that reduces odor, pathogens, and waste volume. Hydrolytic bacteria form a variety of reduced end-products from the fermentation of a given substrate . One fundamental question that arises concerns the metabolic features that control carbon and electron flow to a given reduced end-product during pure culture and ...
A. aceti has long been used in the fermentation industry efficiently producing acetic acid from alcohol as an obligate aerobe dependent on oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor. [4] A. aceti, classified as an acidophile, able to survive in acidic environments, possesses an acidified cytoplasm, providing most proteins with acid stability. [3]
