In phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA sequences; 16S rRNA gene restriction anal- gene sequences, the two isolates were included within a ysis; Acetobacteraceae lineage comprised of the genera Acidomonas, Glucona- cetobacter, Asaia, Kozakia, Swaminathania, Neoasaia, In acetic acid bacteria, several new genera have been Granulibacter, and Tanticharoenia, and they formed an reported for strains isolated from isolation sources independent cluster along with the type strain of obtained in Southeast Asia. The first was the genus Tanticharoenia sakaeratensis.
