    Acetobacter diazotrophicus sp. nov., a Nitrogen-Fixing Acetic Acid Bacterium Associated with Sugarcane
    (1989-07) Gillis, M.; Kersters, K.; Hoste, B.; Janssens, D.; Stephan, M.P.; Teixeira, K.R.S.; Dobereiner, J.; De Ley, J.
    Results of deoxyribonUtleic acid (DNA)-ribosomal ribonucleic acid and DNA-DNA hybridizations, together with a phenotypic and chemotaxonomic analysis, revealed that nitrogen-fixing bacteria isolated from roots and stems of sugarcane belong to a new species in the genus Acetobacter, for which the name Acetobacter diazotrophicus sp. nov. is proposed. Strain LMG 7603 (= Dobereiner PAl 5 = ATCC 49037) is the type strain.
