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 The rumen, also known as a paunch, is the largest stomach compartment in ruminants and the larger part of the reticulorumen, which is the first chamber in the alimentary canal of ruminant animals. The rumen's microbial favoring environment al ... 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. References Further reading * * * * * * {{Taxonbar, from=Q3825240 Bacteria families ...

''Eisenbergiella'' is a genus of bacteria from the family of Lachnospiraceae. Etymology Eisenbergiella, named in memory of the Polish physician and bacteriologist Dr Filip Eisenberg (1876-1942) who perished during the Holocaust The Holocaust, also known as the Shoah, was the genocide of European Jews during World War II. Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews across German-occupied Europe; a ....

Butyrivibrio
''Butyrivibrio'' is a genus of bacteria in Clostridia, 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 organism, anaerobic, Butyric acid, butyric acid-producing, curved Bacillus (shape), rods (or vibroids). ''Butyrivibrio'' cells are small, typically 0.4 – 0.6 Micrometre, µm by 2 – 5 µm. They are Motility, 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 bacteria, Gram-negative, their cell walls contain derivatives of teichoic acid, and electron microscopy indicates that bacteria of this genus have a Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-positive cell wall type.Beveridge, 1990 It is thought that they appear Gram-negative when Gram stained because their cell walls thin to 12 t ...
