Source-derived summary

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).

The optimum growth temperature for A. pomorum is 45-50 °C, and can grow in the 30-60 °C range. The optimum pH is 4.5-5.0, and can grow in pH 3.0-6.0.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Alicyclobacillus pomorum” as species of bacterium. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA sound reference starting point where classification, measurement and the date of the underlying evidence remain visible. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2003—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Alicyclobacillus, pomorum and species can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the science & nature register because the source frames it as species of bacterium. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 10, 2023. The linked authority identifier is Q25834851. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2003.

Critical limits

Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
