Lachnospiraceae

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 (butyrate, acetate) 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.

Coprococcus is a genus of obligately anaerobic, nonmotile, Gram-positive cocci that are part of the human and animal gut microbiota.

Blautia is a genus of anaerobic bacteria. Upon introduction, this genus mostly consisted of species previously described in the genus Ruminococcus.

Roseburia is a genus of butyrate-producing, Gram-positive anaerobic bacteria that inhabit the human colon. With a cell morphology of a curved-rod shape, this bacterium uses its flagella to move around. The bacterium is named in honor of Theodor Rosebury who has contributed vastly to the oral microbiome field. First isolated in human fecal samples, Roseburia has been found to provide several health benefits pertaining to the human gut microbiome. Belonging to the Bacillota phylum (previously known as Firmicutes), Clostridia class, Clostridiales order, and Lachnospiraceae family, the Roseburia g

Catonella is a Gram-negative, obligately anaerobic, non-spore-forming and non-motile bacterial genus from the family of Lachnospiraceae with one known species (Catonella morbi). Catonella morbi occur in the gingival crevice of humans.

anaerobic, motile, gram-positive bacterium

Johnsonella is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming and non-motil bacterial genus from the family of Lachnospiraceae with one known species (Johnsonella ignava). Johnsonella ignava occur in the gingival crevice of humans.

Butyrivibrio is a genus of bacteria in Class Clostridia. Bacteria of this genus are common in the gastrointestinal systems of many animals. Genus Butyrivibrio was first described by Bryant and Small (1956) as anaerobic, butyric acid-producing, curved rods (or vibroids). Butyrivibrio cells are small, typically 0.4 – 0.6 μm by 2 – 5 μm. They are motile, using a single polar or subpolar monotrichous flagellum. They are commonly found singly or in short chains but it is not unusual for them to form long chains. Despite historically being described as Gram-negative, their cell walls contain de
