Notes:
1 The Index Bergeyana includes the following comment:
Beijerinck used the vernacular name azijnbacterien for the acetic bacteria. Apparently at some time before 1900 the vernacular name was rendered into neo-latin as Acetobacter and finally used in publication. There is no record of its formal proposal as a genus. Kluyver 1940, 132, states: "... It is surprising that neither Beijerinck nor Hoyer proposed in their publications the creation of a new genus for the acetic bacteria ... There can be no doubt that, in any case morally, but probably also according to the code of Botanical Nomenclature, Beijerinck is to be considered as the author of the genus Acetobacter as it occurs today ...".
On 01 January 1980, the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names followed the Kluyver's opinion, and they cited the genus name Acetobacter as Acetobacter Beijerinck 1898.
