Gluconacetobacter is a genus in the phylum Pseudomonadota (Bacteria). ^[2] In 2012, several species previously classified in the genus Gluconacetobacter were reclassified under the new genus Komagataeibacter , including the cellulose producing species Komagataeibacter xylinus . ^{[3] [4]}

Etymology

The name Gluconacetobacter derives from: Neo-Latin acidum gluconicum, gluconic acid; Latin noun acetum, vinegar; Neo-Latin bacter, rod; giving Gluconacetobacter, gluconate-vinegar rod. ^[1]
