Lactobacillus acetotolerans

Lactobacillus acetotolerans (a.ce.to.to’le.rans. L. neut. n. acetum vinegar; L. pres. part. tolerans tolerating, enduring; N.L. part. adj. acetotolerans vinegar tolerating).

Lactobacillus acetotolerans produces DL-lactic acid from glucose, mannose, fructose and trehalose but not from arabinose, sucrose, lactose, melibiose and raffinose [69]. The genome size is 1.59 Mbp and the mol% G+C content of DNA is 36.3.

Thespecies is part of thecore microbiome of mash fermentationsfor productionof grain liquor and vinegar in China and Japan [58]; itwas also isolatedfrom otherplant fermentations, silage, and from the intestine of swine, ducks, and cattle.
