This poor little bug should've had an article for the last ten years, under the old name Gluconacetobacter xylinus - it was created by new editor Sdeanhrc with the text "Gluconacetobacter xylinus is reclassified from Acetobacter xylinus a gram negative, obligate aerobic bacteria.", for which they deserve some retroactive credit. It may not have been a well-constructed article, but five seconds of Googling could have told the admin who deleted it a day later that "A1: no context" was inappropriate. The new editor made only one other edit, and didn't return after the deletion (about which they didn't get a talk page message). The admin who made this lousy decision hasn't edited in two years. And the deletion happened in 2008. So yeah, this is belated and a little like suddenly remembering some awkward thing you did ten years ago and having a cringe moment - but, after finding the topic at Wikipedia:Requested articles/Biology and then discovering the request had been "fulfilled" ten years ago, I am kind of embarrassed for the project right now.

It seems relevant that this species is nearly always present in Kombucha tea. Does anybody know if it should be considered "probiotic", and if it is normally encountered as intestinal fauna? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.124.116.101 (talk) 00:49, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This paper concludes that "K.X.1 had high level of glucose conversion rate and significant survival rate in acidic pH and bile salt" and "consuming the bacteria may help to reduce glucose absorption and prevent weight gain by converting glucose into cellulose in the human gut". I think this is relevant. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6488717/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.134.10.160 (talk) 13:03, 13 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
