Gluconacetobacter sacchari

Gluconacetobacter sacchari is a species of acetic acid bacteria first isolated from the leaf sheath of sugar cane and from the pink sugar-cane mealy bug (Saccharicoccus sacchari) on sugar cane growing in Queensland and northern New South Wales.[1] The type strain of this species is strain SRI 1794T (=DSM 12717T). It is notable for its production of bacterial cellulose[2] and for being an endophyte in sugar cane.[3]
