A low-cost medium based on soya bean whey (SBW) was prepared as a by-product from agriculture and optimised for biocellulose (BC) production by Komagataeibacter sp. PAP1. The optimal conditions for BC production are: pH 6.21, 1.61% ethanol concentration (v/v) and 28.4°C. The use of optimised medium based on SBW increased BC production 3.6 fold compared to standard Hestrin-Schramm (HS) medium. The BC film produced from the optimised medium was stronger and more impermeable to water vapour and oxygen compared to the one produced from the standard HS medium. These properties allow SBW film to be developed into eco-friendly food packaging for oxygen-sensitive products. Its high water absorption capacity allows its use in biomedical application such as wound dressing. Our results demonstrate that SBW can be used as an alternative low-cost substrate for BC production on commercial scale. © 2014 by Maejo University, San Sai, Chiang Mai, 50290 Thailand.

Two hundred and four strains of biocellulose (BC)-producing Gluconacetobacter strains were isolated from 48 rotten tropical fruits collected in Thailand. Twenty-nine representative isolates were selected from each of the 16 isolation sources and identified by morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The selected 29 isolates were divided into seven subgroups within the Gluconacetobacter xylinus group of the genus Gluconacetobacter and identified as Gluconacetobacter oboediens (subgroup I, five isolates), Gluconacetobacter rhaeticus (subgroup II, one isolate), Gluconacetobacter hansenii (subgroup III, seven isolates), Gluconacetobacter swingsii (subgroup IV, two isolates) and Gluconacetobacter sucrofermentans (subgroup V, two isolates). The remaining isolates were grouped into subgroups VIa (three isolates) and VIb (nine isolates). All the isolates were cultured in Hestrin-Schramm (HS) medium statically at 30°C for 7 days to determine cellulose production capability. Of the 29 isolates, isolate PAP1 (subgroup VIb, unidentified) gave the highest yield (1.15 g/L) of BC. However, the BC yield increased threefold (3.5 g/L) when D-glucose in HS medium was replaced by D-mannitol. © 2013 by Maejo University, San Sai, Chiang Mai, 50290 Thailand.

Subdivision of the genus Gluconacetobacter Yamada, Hoshino and Ishikawa 1998: The proposal of Komagatabacter gen. nov., for strains accommodated to the Gluconacetobacter xylinus group in the α-Proteobacteria

The genus Gluconacetobacter is divided into two groups phylogenetically, phenotypically and ecologically: the Gluconacetobacter liquefaciens group and the Gluconacetobacter xylinus group. For the latter group, the genus Komagatabacter is newly introduced, and the type species of the new genus is designated as Komagatabacter xylinus (Brown 1886) comb. nov. Twelve species of the Gluconacetobacter xylinus group are transferred to the new genus as new combinations. © Springer-Verlag and the University of Milan 2011.

Eighteen rod-shaped homofermentatives, six heterofermentatives, and a coccal homofermentative lactic acid bacteria were isolated from fermented tea leaves (miang) produced in the northern part of Thailand. The isolates were placed in a monophyletic cluster consisting of Lactobacillus and Pediococcus species. They were divided into seven groups by phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, DNA-DNA similarity, and 16S rRNA gene sequences. Groups I to VI belonged to Lactobacillus and Group VII to Pediococcus. All of the strains tested produced DL-lactic acid but those in Group IV produced L-lactic acid. The strains tested in Groups I, II and V had meso-diaminopimelic acid in the cell wall. Six strains in Group I were identified as Lactobacillus pantheris; five strains in Group II as Lactobacillus pentosus; and four strains in Group V as Lactobacillus suebicus. Two strains in Group VI showed high DNA-DNA similarity for each other and MCH4-2 was closest to Lactobacillus fermentum CECT 562T with 99.5% of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. Five strains in Group III are proposed as Lactobacillus thailandensis sp. nov., and MCH5-2T (BCC 21235T=JCM 13996T=NRIC 0671T=PCU 272T) is the type strain which has 49 mol% G+C of DNA. Two strains in Group IV are proposed as Lactobacillus camelliae sp. nov., and the type strain is MCH3-1T (BCC 21233T=JCM 13995T=NRIC 0672T=PCU 273T) which has 51.9 mol% G+C of DNA. One strain in Group VII is proposed as Pediococcus siamensis sp. nov., and MCH3-2T (BCC 21234T=JCM 13997T=NRIC 0675T=PCU 274T) is the type strain which has 42 mol% G+C of DNA.
