The Lachnospiraceae are a family of obligately anaerobic, variably spore-forming bacteria in the order Eubacteriales that ferment diverse plant polysaccharides to short-chain fatty acids and alcohols (ethanol). These bacteria are among the most abundant taxa in the rumen and the human gut microbiota. Members of this family may protect against colon cancer in humans by producing butyric acid. Lachnospiraceae have been found to contribute to diabetes in genetically susceptible (ob/ob) germ-free mice.
Barnesiella viscericola is a Gram-negative, obligately anaerobic, non-spore-forming and non-motile bacterium from the genus of Barnesiella which has been isolated from chicken caecum in Japan.
Parabacteroides distasonis is a Gram-negative, non-sporeforming, obligately anaerobic, rod-shaped, and non-motile bacterium from the genus of Parabacteroides.
Parabacteroides merdae is a Gram-negative, non-sporeforming, obligately anaerobic, rod-shaped, and non-motile bacterium from the genus of Parabacteroides which has been isolated from human faeces in the United States.
Propionimicrobium lymphophilum is a Gram-positive bacterium which has been isolated from submaxillary tissue.
Pseudohoeflea is a genus of bacteria from the family of Phyllobacteriaceae with one known species.
Roseitalea is a genus of bacteria from the family of Phyllobacteriaceae with one known species.
Agathobacter is a bacterial genus from the family of Lachnospiraceae.
Agathobacter rectalis is a Gram-positive, butyrate-producing, anaerobic, rod-shaped and non-spore-forming bacterium from the genus of Agathobacter with a single flagellate which occur in the rumen content of sheep and cows.
Butyricicoccus is a bacterial genus from the family of Oscillospiraceae., formerly ranked in the family of Clostridiaceae.
Caldanaerobius fijiensis is a thermophilic, obligately anaerobic and spore-forming bacterium from the genus of Caldanaerobius which has been isolated from a hot spring in Fiji.
Dorea is a Gram-positive and nonspore-forming bacterial genus from the family Lachnospiraceae, which occur in human faeces.
Dorea formicigenerans is a Gram-positive, obligately anaerobic, non-spore-forming, and rod-shaped bacterium from the genus Dorea and is found in human faeces.
Dorea longicatena is a Gram-positive, obligately anaerobic, non-spore-forming and rod-shaped bacterium from the genus of Dorea which has been isolated from human feces in Germany.

Mogibacterium is a Gram-positive, strictly anaerobic and non-spore-forming bacterial genus from the family of Eubacteriaceae.
Mogibacterium pumilum is a Gram-positive, anaerobic, rod-shaped and non-spore-forming bacterium from the genus of Mogibacterium which has been isolated from the Periodontal pocket of a human.
Salipaludibacillus is a gram-positive genus of bacteria from the family of Bacillaceae.
Eubacterium aggregans is a Gram-positive, homoacetogenic, non-spore-forming and anaerobic bacterium from the genus of Eubacterium which has been isolated from olive mill wastewater in Tunisia
