Gluconacetobacter sacchari is a species of
acetic acid bacteria first isolated from the
leaf sheath of
sugar cane and from the pink sugar-cane mealy bug (Saccharicoccus sacchari) on sugar cane growing in Queensland and northern New South Wales.[1] The type strain of this species is strain SRI 1794T (=DSM 12717T). It is notable for its production of
bacterial cellulose[2] and for being an
endophyte in sugar cane.[3]
