Acetobacter is a versatile genus of bacteria known for its dual role in agriculture and industry. In agriculture, it functions as an aerobic nitrogen-fixing bacterium, thriving in the roots, stems, and leaves of plants like sugarcane and coffee.
It produces growth-promoting substances such as Indole Acetic Acid and Gibberellic Acid, stimulating root proliferation and enhancing nutrient uptake, water absorption, and phosphate solubilization. This promotes robust growth and improves sugar recovery in sugarcane crops.

Features
Better Crop Growth and Seedling Establishment: Acetobacter enhances crop growth and promotes robust seedling establishment by improving nutrient uptake, water absorption, and mineral utilization.
Increased Crop Yield (25%-35%): It significantly boosts crop yields by 25%–35%, ensuring higher productivity and better returns for farmers.
Production of Vitamins and Hormones: Acetobacter produces essential vitamins such as thiamine, riboflavin, nicotinic acid, and pantothenic acid. It also synthesizes hormones like Indole Acetic Acid (IAA) and Gibberellic Acid (GA), which promote plant growth and development.
Unique Physiological Properties: The bacterium possesses unique physiological traits, including tolerance to low pH levels, and high sugar and salt concentrations. It lacks nitrate reductase and nitrogenase activity, enabling it to tolerate short-term exposure to ammonia without compromising its function.
Enhanced Root System Development: Acetobacter increases the number of rootlets and stimulates root proliferation, facilitating improved uptake of minerals, phosphate, and water. This strengthens the plant’s root system, enhancing overall nutrient absorption and resilience to environmental stresses.
