Acetobacter fabarum is a bacterium that was first identified from fermenting cocoa beans in Ghana.[2][3]
Acetobacter fabarum are gram-negative bacteria that appear as rounded rods, approximately 0.8 micrometers by 1.2 to 3 micrometers in size.[2] If grown on agar plates, A. fabarum forms beige, round colonies that grow to 0.8 millimeters after three days at 28°C.[2]
