Merge of Acetobacter
The Acetobacter page was recently merged into this one. I think it ought to have its own page as Acetobacter is a specific genus and thus a subset of all kinds of acetic acid bacteria. Discuss? Yangosplat222 (talk) 18:39, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I think Acetobacteraceae and Acetobacter should have their own pages. I don't agree with the merging.--Miguelferig (talk) 18:01, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Further reading section
I renamed the Academic references section to Further reading because that is more consistent with Wikipedia formatting; however, it's not exactly accurate, and ideally those sources should be moved into Acetic acid bacteria and cited in the body of the article.

Nomenclature for the bacteria that synthesize cellulose: Acetobacter xylinum?
The synthesis of cellulose by a bacteria is very interesting and does belong in the article. However, if I understand correctly, the current nomenclature is not Acetobacter xylinum. Instead, it's Acetobacter aceti subsp. xylinus, according to bacterio.net. My expertise isn't sufficient to determine the best way to present this in a Wikipedia article, so I will let someone else decide whether an edit is desirable.

I agree, but I am pretty sure that cellulose production is not part of their oxidative metabolism. These are highly used in industry, maybe an industrial usage section could be added and cellulose production move there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.228.217.193 (talk) 00:06, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
