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.[4][13][14][15] Members of this family may protect against colon cancer in humans by producing butyric acid.[16][17] Lachnospiraceae have been found to contribute to diabetes in genetically susceptible (ob/ob) germ-free mice.[18]
