Acetic acid is indirectly involved in cell center metabolism, and acetic acid metabolism is the core of central metabolism, affecting and regulating the production of bacteriocin. Bacteriocin is a natural food preservative that has been used in the meat and dairy industries and winemaking. In this paper, the effects of acetic acid on bacteriocin produced by Gram-positive bacteria were reviewed. It was found that acetic acid in the undissociated state can diffuse freely through the hydrophobic layer of the membrane and dissociate, affecting the production, yield, and activity of bacteriocin. In particular, the effect of acetic acid on cell membranes is summarized. The link between acetic acid metabolism, quorum sensing, and bacteriocin production mechanisms is also highlighted.

The major by-products in ethanol fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae were glycerol, acetaldehyde, acetic acid, lactic acid, and formic acid. The effects of these by-products on the cell growth and ethanol production were studied. By adding acetaldehyde or acetic acid in the fermentation broth, the cell growth decreased while the ethanol production increased. But glycerol and lactic acid had nearly no effects on the cell growth and the ethanol production. Acetic acid and acetaldehyde inhibited the cell growth by diminishing the growth rate as well as by prolonging the lag phase. The ethanol yield increased with the elevation of concentrations of acetic acid and acetaldehyde in the fermentation broth. The maximum ethanol yield was obtained for $3g/\ell$ acetic acid and $2g/\ell$ acetaldehyde, respectively.

Influence of acetic acid on xylitol production from xylose using Candida parapsilosis KFCC 10875 was investigated at the different concentrations of acetic acid. Acetic acid was totally consumed below 1.0 g/l of its concentration, whereas partially consumed above 3.0 g/l and remained in the medium during xylitol fermentation. Cell growth, xylose consumption, and xylitol production decreased when acetic acid concentration was increased. Specific growth rate of cell and specific consumption rate of xylose also decreased with increasing the concentration of acetic acid. However, the xylitol yield from xylose and specific production rate of xylitol were maximum at 1.0 g/l of acetic acid. The inhibitory effect of acetic acid on xylitol fermentation increased when pH was decreased.

In this study, Bucillus amyloliquefaciens was adopted as bacterial source to investigate the concentration of carbon source by adding inhibitors in the batch culture. By adding acetic acid at $10g/\ell$ of initial glucose concentration, maximum dry cell density was obtained with the highest value of /$\3.9gell$ at $1.0g/\ell$ of initial acetic acid concentration. By adding acetic acid al 10g/$\ell$ of initial glucose concentration, maximum ${\alpha}$-amylase production was obtained with 331.55unit/m1 at $2.0g/\ell$ of initial acetic acid concentration. ${\alpha}$-Amylase production was decreased with the increase of initial acetic acrid concentration. By adding acetic acid to the medium, cell growth and ${\alpha}$-amylase production was higher in glucose than in maltose. By adding lactic acid to the medium, cell growth was decreased.

The fermenting conditions for acetic acid production with Acetobacter sp. FM-10 which could grow in the medium containing 10% ehtanol were investigated. Initial concentration of acetic acid in broth medium affected greatly to the fermentation speed. For example , the acetic acid production increased proportionally by the increasing of initial concentration was higher that 1.0%. When the cultivation was started with broth medium containing 5% ethanol, the additional adding ethanol during the fermentation was not significantly increased the acidity of the medium. The acidity of the medium containing 10% ethanol was reached to 8.3% after shaking than static cultivation by about 10 days with 150 rpm shaking speed. Acetic acid production with shaking cultivation was faster the static cultivation by abot 10 days under the same condition except shaking. In acetic acid fermentation with the batch style fermentor , the optimum fermentation condition was 700 rpm of agitation speed and 5L/min air flow rate in 3L culture medium .

To produce economically important acid with pear juice, an acetic acid bacterium was selected from many isolated acetic acid bacteria. The alcohoic fermentation was conducted by inoculating pear juice with Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 4124, and then the pear vinegar was prepared by batch cultivation in flaskes with the isolated Acetobacter sp. The optimum conditions for high yield of acetic acid were studied experimentally in the batch shake flask . For seed purposes the Acetobactor sp. was cultivated for 2 -days and transferred to the acid production medium . Optimum alcohol concentration, initial acidity and temperature for the acid production were 8.0% , 2.0% and 28$^{\circ}C$, respectively. Under the same conditions, the addition of yeast extract (1%) was observed to produce relatively high yield of acetic acid.

In order to produce vinegar using onions, 12 acetic acid bacteria were screened from the juice of fallen peaches, and a strain showing the highest acetic acid productivity among them was selected and identified as Acetobacter tropicalis No. 22. The culture broth containing 2.5%(w/v) of initial sugar concentration showed maximum acetic production after 10 days of cultivation, and the acetic acid was produced at the highest rate and reached the maximum acidity after 2 to 6 days of cultivation when the residual sugar and the ethanol concentration were in the range of 1.6 to 2%(w/v) and 0.6 to 1.8%(v/v), respectively. Also optimum conditions for acetic acid production by response surface method using the fractional factorial design with 3 variables and 5 levels were involved with initial ethanol content of 4.67%(v/v), initial acidity of 0.03%, and initial glucose concentration of 2.35%(w/v) and predicted level of acetic acid production at these conditions was 3.77%.

Production of acetic acid from cellulosic biomass by Simultaneous Saccharification and Extractive Fermentation (SSEF) was investigated. The homoacetate organism used in this study was a strain of Clostridium thermoaceticum, ATCC # 49707. A batch operation of Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation(SSF) using ${\alpha}$-cellulose at pH 5.5 and 55$^{\circ}C$ yielded 40% conversion of cellulose to acetic acid, while a fed-batch SSF operation produced a maximum acetic acid concentration of 25 g/L, with 50% overall yield. In-situ extractive fermentation to reduce the end-product inhibition on both bacteria and enzyme was carried out. in a batch SSEF using 200 g/L IRA-400 resin, acetic acid concentration reached to 23.9 g/L and acetic acid yield and productivity were observed to be 48% and 0.20 g/L-hr, respectively.

We investigated the effect of ethanol on the production of cellulose and acetic acid fermentation by Gluconacetobacter persimmonensis KJ145. Results showed that bacterial cellulose productivity was highest when 2% ethyl alcohol was added to apple-juice medium. For acetic acid production, 7% ethyl alcohol was needed. Optimal concentration of ethyl alcohol was 5% for simultaneous production of bacterial cellulose and acetic acid. For simultaneous production of bacterial cellulose and acetic acid, optimal nitrogen source and optimal concentration were corn steep liquor and 15% (w/v), respectively Optimal culture time for simultaneous production of bacterial cellulose and acetic acid was 14 days. At the optimal condition, Cluconacetobacter persimmonenis KJ145 produced 7.55 g/L of bacterial cellulose (dry weight).

This study was carried out to evaluate the growth characteristics of Lactobacillus acidophilus KCCM 32820 and Propionibacterium freudenreichii KCCM 31227 and the production of propionic and acetic acids in 5% and 10% whey broth by mixed culture of L. acidophilus KCCM 32820 and P. freudenreichii KCCM 31227. Exponential phase of L. acidophilus KCCM 32820 was in the range of $6\sim12$ hrs and P. freudenreichii KCCM 31227 was in the range of $36\sim108$ hrs. In the mixed culture, production of propionic acid was shown to be greater value in the 10% whey broth than in the 5% whey broth and to be greater value in the low temperature for a long time than in sterilization by autoclave. Maximum production of propionic acid was 8.88 mg/mL in the 10% whey broth fermented at 120hrs. Production of acetic acid was revealed to be greater value in the 10% whey broth than in the 5% whey broth. The production quantity ratio of propionic acid to acetic acid was shown between $2:1\sim3:1$ during the fermentation process.
