Alicyclobacillus pomorum
Alicyclobacillus pomorum is a species of Gram positive, strictly aerobic, bacterium. The bacteria are acidophilic and produced endospores. It was first isolated from spoiled mixed fruit juice (containing fresh orange, apple, mango, pineapple, and raspberry juice). The species was first described in 2003, and the name is derived from Latin pomorum (of fruits).[1]
