The genus Anaerostipes is one of the major butyrate-producing genera in the gut microbiota of healthy human adults. During a culturomics study of the human gut, strain 17EGHSPOS18-1T was isolated from...

Nature Microbiology, Published online: 26 August 2026; doi:10.1038/s41564-026-02446-9Here the authors propose guidance on the process of establishing a state-of-the-art collection of microorganisms, including project planning, strain deposition and the naming of new taxa.

The genus Dysgonomonas, established in 2000 and currently comprising nine isolated species, belongs to the order Bacteroidales. Despite its increasing ecological and clinical relevance, the genus rema...

The obligately anaerobic, Gram-stain-positive coccobacilli strains OB7620T and OB7656T were isolated from faecal samples of healthy Japanese volunteers. Strain OB7620T showed the highest 16S rRNA gene...

In this study, the liquid-liquid co-culture method was applied using faecal samples and specific bacterial species as growth-supporting bacteria. We aimed to isolate new, difficult-to-culture bacteria...

The genus Lactococcus was proposed by Schleifer et al. by separating Lactococcus lactis from the genus Streptococcus. Although the family Streptococcaceae consists of four genera, each genus contains ...

The genus Faecalibacterium is one of the major butyrate-producing bacteria in the human gut. Due to its production of beneficial metabolites and reduced populations in diseased patients, it is regarde...

Nature Communications - Here, the authors present and characterise a collection of human gut bacteria including novel taxa associated with health conditions and a large diversity of plasmids. All...

Eukaryotes are theorized to have originated from an archaeal phylum Promethearchaeota (formerly 'Asgard' archaea)1,2. The first cultured representatives revealed valuable insight3,4 but are distantly ...

Coffee consumption is associated with the presence and abundance of a specific member of the human gut microbiome, Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus, and changes to the plasma metabolome.

Faecalibacterium prausnitzii is one of the most important butyrate-producing bacteria in the human gut. Previous studies have suggested the presence of several phylogenetic groups, with differences at...

Succinate production by Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron supported the growth of Phascolarctobacterium faecium and concomitant propionate production via the succinate pathway. We analyzed the transcripti....

Small, obligately anaerobic strains 13CB8CT, 13CB11CT, 13CB18CT and 13GAM1GT were isolated from a faecal sample in a patient with Parkinson’s disease with a history of duodenal resection. After conduc...
