Morphology

Acetovibrio

CELLULAR

Staining	Gram-negative
Morphology	Straight to slightly curved rods, 0.5-0.9 by 1.5-10.0 um occurring singly, in pairs and in chains of cells up to 40 um long.,.
Motility	Motile by means of a single flagellum located about one-third of the distance from pole to pole or by multiple flagella which are arranged linearly and often fascicled, emanating from the concave side of the cells in both cases.
Specialized structures	nonsporeforming

Growth Parameters

Acetovibrio

PHYSIOLOGICAL

Tropism	Chemoorganotrophic May or may not metabolize peptone. Acetic acid is the sole or major organic acid end product of carbohydrate fermentation
Oxygen	Obligately anaerobic.
pH
Temperature	Optimum temperature 35- 37`C
Requirements
Products	Formic acid is produced by some strains. Propionic, butyric, succinic and lactic acids are not formed. The other products of carbohydrate fermentation are H2, CO2, and ethanol.
