  • Acetobacter (subgen. Acetobacter Beijerinck 1898) is automatically created by the valid publication of the subgenus Acetobacter (subgen. Gluconoacetobacter Yamada and Kondo 1985) (Rule 39). Publication: Yamada Y, Kondo K. Gluconoacetobacter, a new subgenus comprising the acetate-oxidizing acetic acid bacteria with ubiquinone-10 in the genus Acetobacter. J. Gen. Appl. Microbiol. 1984; 30:297-303.
