Acetobacter (Bio-Aceto) is nitrogen fixing bio inoculants exclusively meant for sugarcane and paddy. Bio-Aceto (Acetobacter) is an obligatory aerobic, nitrogen-fixing bacteria that is known for producing acid as a result of metabolic processes. It has been called interesting because it carries out nitrogen fixation under aerobic conditions. Bio-Aceto is a plant endophyte and has been said to be capable of excreting about half of its fixed nitrogen in a form that plants can use. Acetobacter bacteria is found in symbiotic relationships with many different plants, such as sugarcane and coffee plants as endophytes that associate with plants by colonizing their internal tissues. Bio-Aceto is the only bio inoculants able to survive in high sugar concentration conditions (able to survive in 10% sugar concentrations).
