Alicyclobacillus kakegawensis is a species of Gram positive, strictly aerobic, bacterium. The bacteria are acidophilic and produce endospores. It was first isolated from soil in Kakegawa, Japan . The species was first described in 2007, and the named after the city from which it was first isolated.[1]
The optimum growth temperature for A. kakegawensis is 50-55 °C, and can grow in the 40-60 °C range. The optimum pH is 4.0-4.5, and cannot grow at pH 3.0 or pH 6.5.[1]
Alicyclobacillus kakegawensis was found during a Japanese survey of various beverages and environments, which also discovered 5 other species of Alicyclobacillus: A. contaminans, A. fastidiosus, A. macrosporangiidus, A. sacchari, and A. shizuokensis.[1]
