Ruminococcus spp.

Ruminococcus spp. are a group of anaerobic bacteria within the Firmicutes phylum, commonly found in the human gut microbiota. They play a significant role in the fermentation of complex carbohydrates and the production of short-chain fatty acids like acetate and butyrate, which support gut health and energy metabolism. Ruminococcus species are considered important for maintaining a balanced gut environment, particularly due to their fiber-degrading abilities. Altered levels of Ruminococcus have been associated with digestive issues, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and metabolic disorders.
