Sharpea azabuensis is a Gram-positive, strictly anaerobic, non-spore-forming, non-motile bacterium belonging to the genus Sharpea. It was first described in 2008 following its isolation from the feces of thoroughbred horses in Ibaraki, Japan.[1]
Ecology and distribution
In addition to its original isolation from horses, S. azabuensis has been recovered from the lower gastrointestinal tract of pigs [2] and from the rumen of calves.[3]
Etymology
The species epithet azabuensis is an arbitrary name referring to the Azabu "Academic Frontier" Project, which supported the study describing the species through Japan's Private Universities Matching Fund Subsidy.[4]
