INTRODUCTION Acetic acid bacteria The micro organisms oxidizing ethanol to acetic acid are commonly called acetic acid bacteria (AAB). Acetic acid bacteria (AAB) are a group of Gram-negative bacteria which oxidize sugars or ethanol and produce acetic acid during fermentation . The acetic acid bacteria consist of 10 genera in the family Acetobacteraceae . Fermentation Fermentation is the chemicals substances into simpler compounds by the action of enzymes,complex organic catalysts,which are produced by microorganisms such as mold yeast or bacteria. Product of fermentation Wine Bear Lactic acid Vineger cheese etc 3
OBJECTIVES 1. To know the acetic acid bacteria mechanism of aceitic acid fermentation . 2. To know the fermentation process of Wine Bear,Lactic acid,vinegar,cheese etc 4
DISCUSSION Acetic acid fermentation is catalyzed by two membrane-bound enzymes, 1. Alcohol dehydrogenase and 2. Aldehyde dehydrogenase which produce large amounts of acetic acid outside the cells. The molecular mechanisms conferring acetic acid resistance on Acetobacter aceti have been investigated using acetic acid-sensitive mutants 5

Usefull of Acetic acid bacteria As a coagulant for latex in rubber industry In the manufacture of plastic ( polyvinyl acetate) rayon (cellulose acetate) and skin. In medicine as a local irritant In the manufacture of many organic compound like acetone,acetates & ester 10
CONCLUSION From the above study we observe that Acetic acid bacteria is produced by fermenting various substrates (starchy solution, sugar solutions or alcoholic foodstuffs such as wine or cider) with Acetobacter bacteria. Legislation in many countries require that the acetic acid in vinegar must be produced by fermentation rather than by chemical processes. As the main producer of a world-wide condiment, vinegar, AAB have evolved an elegant adaptive system that enables them to survive and produce a high concentration of acetic acid. 11
