Gluconobactersuvun
Gluconobacter suvun is a hypothetical bacterial species placed in the genus Gluconobacter, in the family Acetobacteraceae, order Rhodospirillales, class Alphaproteobacteria. The name is not currently validated in major taxonomic databases and no type strain has been described; the following overview summarizes traits associated with Gluconobacter species and would apply to a member designated as G. suvun if formally described.
Ecology and habitat: Gluconobacter-like bacteria are environmental organisms commonly found on plant surfaces, fruit, juice, and
Physiology and metabolism: Members of this group are Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic. They possess periplasmic membrane-bound dehydrogenases
Applications and significance: In biotechnology, Gluconobacter species are studied for selective oxidations of sugars and alcohols,
Taxonomic status: For a name to be valid, a type strain must be deposited and described according
