“…Later Leifson (1954) regrouped the same bacteria according to their flagellation and metabolism and described the genus Acetomonas, that included those gluconobacters that oxidized ethanol (Asai, 1935). Shimwell & Carr (1959) rejected the genus Gluconobacter, considering that the genus included both Acetomonas and Pseudomonas strains.…”

“…It appears that these Gram-negative, polar flagellated bacteria, producing large amounts of gluconic acid from glucose, capable of growth at pH 3 but unable to utilize ethanol, could be included in the subgenus Eugluconobacter of the genus Glu conobacter (Asai, 1935).…”

“…It is therefore necessary to discuss briefly the taxonomic reasoning which has led us to include the diminuta group in the genus Pseudomonas. In some respects, the diminuta group resembles the polarly flagellated under-oxidizing acetic acid bacteria, now placed in a separate genus, Acetomonas (Leifson, I 954) or Gluconobacter (Asai & Shoda, 1958). The features common to the two groups are the production of acids in complex media containing ethanol or aldose sugars, the production of acetone from isopropanol, and the multiple requirements for growth factors, which include pantothenate.…”

SUMMARYThirteen strains previously assigned to the species Pseudomonas diminuta and P. vesiculare were subjected to detailed characterization. Ten of these strains could be identified as P. diminuta and two as P. vesiculare. These two species can be readily distinguished by differences in their nutritional spectra, their growth factor requirements and their pigmentation. The DNA of the two strains of P. vesiculare contained 65.8 moles yo guanine +cytosine (GC), and the DNA of the ten strains of P. diminuta: from 66.3 to 67.3 moles yo. One of the 13 strains examined had DNA of significantly lower GC content (62.2 moles yo) and also differed in several phenotypic respects from both species; it is probably a monotypic representative of a third species, as yet unnamed.All the strains examined share a series of distinctive properties, which justify their recognition as a special subgroup of aerobic pseudomonads. The defining characters of this subgroup include : monotrichous flagellation, with flagella of very short wavelength; a requirement for pantothenate, biotin and cyanocobalamin; a limited range of carbon sources; production of acid from primary alcohols by all strains that can utilize alcohols; inability to denitrify or to use nitrate as a nitrogen source; and accumulation of poly-P-hydroxybutyrate as an intracellular reserve.

“…At first, the strain was regarded as a non-motile strain. Later, ASAI and SHODA (14) reexamined the strain as "Gluconobacter liquefaciens" together with two "Gluconobacter melanogenus" strains, and reported their polar flagella and their ability to oxidize acetate to carbon dioxide and water. Other workers, however, observed that these acetate-oxidizing organisms have peritrichous, not polar, flagella (15)(16)(17).…”
