detection and enumeration of Acetobacteraceae???

[Peter Ahnert]

Hi,
        I am looking for information on GOVERNMENTAL GUIDLINES or RULES on
how to isolate, detect and differentiate Acetobacter species.

        I am interested in rules by the FDA, APHA or similar. I tried these
sources on-line and in our library but could not find anything.

        Regulations from any other country are very much appreciated, too!

Part of the problem may be that Acetobacteraceae are not pathogen (?) so
they may not be regulated. Or are they?

Please reply to this group or send me e-mail directly.

Thanks,
        Peter.
