Widely distributed across Africa (Seychelles), Asia (Laos, Taiwan, Timor-Leste), Oceania and the Pacific (Australia, Micronesia), and South America (Brazil). Listed as Near Threatened, this species requires ongoing monitoring to prevent population decline.

Acetobacter lambici is an acetic acid bacterium isolated from lambic beer, a spontaneously fermented Belgian beer style, where it contributes to the characteristic acidic flavour profile. Like other Acetobacter species, it oxidises ethanol to acetic acid under aerobic conditions. This species plays a role in traditional fermented beverage production and is of interest in food microbiology and flavour chemistry.
