Faecalicatena is a bacterial genus from the family of Lachnospiraceae.

Indoleacetate decarboxylase (IAD) is a glycyl radical enzyme that catalyses the decarboxylation of indoleacetate to form skatole, which is a malodorous organic compound that gives animal faeces their characteristic smell. This decarboxylation is the last step of the tryptophan fermentation in some types of anaerobic bacteria.
