Bacteroidetes (recently reclassified as Bacteroidota) is one of the two dominant bacterial phyla in the human gut, together with firmicutes typically comprising 90% of the intestinal microbiota. Bacteroidetes are Gram-negative, obligately anaerobic, non-spore-forming ro…
Firmicutes (recently reclassified as Bacillota) is the dominant bacterial phylum in the Western adult gut, comprising the core community of short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) producers that maintain intestinal barrier integrity, regulate immune function, and influence system…
Lachnobacterium is a genus of Gram-positive, obligate anaerobic bacteria within the family Lachnospiraceae (phylum Firmicutes). It is a commensal member of the healthy human gut microbiota, though relatively understudied compared to other Lachnospiraceae genera. Lachnob…
Methanobrevibacter smithii is the dominant methanogenic archaeon in the human gut, responsible for consuming hydrogen gas produced by fermentative bacteria and converting it to methane. Despite being an archaeon rather than a bacterium, it represents 0–15% of gut microb…
Paraprevotella is a genus of obligate anaerobic, Gram-negative bacteria in the family Prevotellaceae, related to prevotella. It is a gut commensal with emerging associations across neuropsychiatric and reproductive conditions. - Schizophrenia: Altered in gut-brain axis …
