Butyrate fermentation is a process that produces butyric acid via anaerobic bacteria. This process occurs commonly in clostridia which can be isolated from many anaerobic environments such as mud, fermented foods , and intestinal tracts or feces. [ 1 ]
Studies show that F. prausnitzii interacts with other bacteria, which affects its butyrate production, and survival. When F. prausnitzii is cultured with Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, it produces more butyric acid than standing alone, [26] [12] F. prausnitzii also benefits from growing with certain other bacteria. For example, in order to ...
"Butyricicoccus pullicaecorum gen. nov., sp. nov., an anaerobic, butyrate-producing bacterium isolated from the caecal content of a broiler chicken". International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology. 58 (12): 2799– 2802. doi: 10.1099/ijs.0.65730-0. PMID 19060061.
Butyric acid is used in the preparation of various butyrate esters. It is used to produce cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB), which is used in a wide variety of tools, paints, and coatings, and is more resistant to degradation than cellulose acetate. [30] CAB can degrade with exposure to heat and moisture, releasing butyric acid. [31]
Peptoniphilus is a genus of bacteria in the phylum Bacillota . [2] ... They are non-saccharolytic, use peptone as a major energy source and produce butyrate. [4]
Clostridium butyricum is a strictly anaerobic endospore-forming Gram-positive butyric acid–producing bacillus subsisting by means of fermentation using an intracellularly accumulated amylopectin-like α-polyglucan (granulose) as a substrate.
The Lachnospiraceae are a family of obligately anaerobic, variably spore-forming bacteria in the order Eubacteriales that ferment diverse plant polysaccharides [11] to short-chain fatty acids (butyrate, acetate) and alcohols (ethanol). These bacteria are among the most abundant taxa in the rumen [12] and the human gut microbiota.
Clostridium pasteurianum (previously known as Clostridium pastorianum) is a bacterium discovered in 1890 by the Russian microbiologist Sergei Winogradsky.It was the first free living (non-symbiotic) micro-organism discovered that could fix free nitrogen from the air.
