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 intestinihominis is a Gram-negative, anaerobic and non-spore-forming bacterium from the genus of Barnesiella which has been isolated from human feces in Tokyo, Japan.
Parabacteroides faecis is a bacterium from the genus of Parabacteroides which has been isolated from human faeces.
Parabacteroides goldsteinii is a Gram-negative, obligately anaerobic non-spore-forming and non-motile bacterium from the genus of Parabacteroides which has been isolated from human blood.
Parabacteroides johnsonii is a Gram-negative, obligately anaerobic, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped and non-motile bacterium from the genus of Parabacteroides which has been isolated from human faeces in Japan.
Porphyromonas bennonis is a Gram-negative, anaerobic and non-spore-forming bacterium from the genus Porphyromonas which has been isolated from human clinical specimens.
Luteococcus peritonei is a Gram-positive bacterium from the genus Luteococcus which has been isolated from a human peritoneum.
Propionibacterium namnetense is a Gram-positive, anaerobic, pleomorphic and rod-shaped bacterium from the genus Cutibacterium which has been isolated from a samples of human bone infection in Nantes, France.
