Biology:Fusicatenibacter

From HandWiki

Fusicatenibacter is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria in the family Lachnospiraceae. It was first described in 2013 to accommodate the newly isolated species Fusicatenibacter saccharivorans, a butyrate-producing anaerobe from human feces.[1]

Taxonomy

Recognized species within the genus Fusicatenibacter include:

  • Fusicatenibacter saccharivorans – the type species, described by Takada et al. in 2013 following its isolation from human feces.[1]
  • Fusicatenibacter faecihominis – described by Afrizal et al. in 2022, isolated using anaerobic single-cell dispensing techniques.[2]
