Preface
Research for acetic acid bacteria (AAB) has a long history since the discovery of AAB by Louis Pasteur and its identification by Martinus Beijerinck in the nineteenth century. In the twentieth century, basic research on the taxonomic study of AAB and on biochemical study for the unique oxidative reactions of AAB progressed as did the industrial applications of AAB not only in vinegar fermentation but also in the bioconversion process for useful chemical or pharmaceutical products. Entering the twenty-first century, AAB research has continued to expand and is expected to show further progress in all aspects of AAB: classification and ecology, physiology and biochemistry, genetics, and biotechnology of vinegar fermentation and other oxidative fermentations. The research on AAB has developed significantly in the last decade, which makes these bacteria more valuable for various industrial uses. Readers can obtain useful, comprehensive information which is exciting with regard to b
