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.
Acidicapsa is a bacterial genus from the family of Acidobacteriaceae.
Dyadobacter fermentans is a Gram-negative bacterium from the genus of Dyadobacter which has been isolated from the stem of a Zea mays plant.
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.
Coprobacter is a genus of bacteria from the family of Barnesiellaceae.
Coprobacter fastidiosus is a Gram-negative, obligately anaerobic, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming and non-motil bacterium from the genus of Coprobacter which has been isolated from the faeces of an infant in Russia.
Gabonibacter is a genus from the family of Porphyromonadaceae which have been isolated from human sources.
Gabonibacter massiliensis is a bacterium from the genus of Gabonibacter which has been isolated from the human gut microbiota.
Macellibacteroides fermentans is a non-spore-forming, obligately anaerobic, rod-shaped and mesophilic bacterium from the genus of Macellibacteroides which has been isolated from an upflow anaerobic filter fore treating abattoir wastewaters in Tunisia.
Microbacter is a genus of bacteria from the family of Porphyromonadaceae, with one known species.
