2 ¤ Acetobacter xylinus corrig. (Brown 1886) Yamada 1984 has been divided into two subspecies: ¤ Acetobacter xylinus subsp. sucrofermentans corrig. Toyosaki et al. 1996, and ¤ Acetobacter xylinus subsp. xylinus corrig. (Brown 1886) Yamada 1984. Yamada et al. transfer Acetobacter xylinus to the genus Gluconacetobacter as a new combination, Gluconacetobacter xylinus (Brown 1886) Yamada et al. 1998. However, the two subspecies are not mentioned in reclassification.
