The micro-organism which forms the subject of this communication was isolated by one of the authors from a sample of a bottled ale produced in a London brewery, and, on detailed examination, it proved to be an Acetobacter species which has not hitherto been described. Since it was found to produce markedly deleterious effects when inoculated into ales and beers, a description of its characteristics and behaviour is now offered as a contribution to the literature of Acetobacter species in general and of “beer disease bacteria” in particular. The new organism is exceptionally motile and in view of this characteristic it has been named Acetobacter mobile. |
