Several genera belonging to the family Acetobacteraceae were generally considered to be acetic acid bacteria (AAB) which produce acetic acid from alcohols using an oxidation pathway. Some species of the family Acetobacteraceae have been of interest to the industry due to their capability to produce vinegar. In 2018-2020, several bacterial strains were isolated from plants, fruits and vinegar in various regions of the Republic of Korea. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences, seven species classified into the family Acetobacteraceae were found to be ones unrecorded in the Republic of Korea, including two Asaia species, one Gluconacetobacter species, three Gluconobacter species and one Komagataeibacter species. As a result, we report Asaia lannensis AF11C3 (=KACC 22050) isolated from plant Chrysanthemum zawadskii, Asaia platycodi AF15C2 (=KACC 22051) isolated from plant Isodon inflexus, Gluconacetobacter liquefaciens C23- 3 (=KACC 22064) isolated from fruit of Pyrus pyrifolia, Gluconobacter cerinus BGF2-R2 (=KACC 22053) isolated from fruit of Prunus armeniaca, Gluconobacter kondonii FR39A4 (=KACC 22388) isolated from persimmon fruit, Gluconobacter thailandicus FR36C4 (=KACC 22057) isolated from fruit of Pseudocydonia sinensis and Komagataeibacter melaceti SPV-2 (=KACC 22058) isolated from potato vinegar.
