The Lachnospiraceae are a family of obligately anaerobic, variably spore-forming bacteria in the order Eubacteriales that ferment diverse plant polysaccharides [11] to short-chain fatty acids (butyrate, acetate) and alcohols (ethanol). These bacteria are among the most abundant taxa in the rumen [12] and the human gut microbiota. [4] [13] [14] [15] Members of this family may protect against colon cancer in humans by producing butyric acid. [16] [17] Lachnospiraceae have been found to contribute to diabetes in genetically susceptible (ob/ob) germ-free mice. [18]
