Ruthenibacterium Lactatiformans

Meaning

Ruthenibacterium Lactatiformans is a specific species of anaerobic bacterium recently identified within the human gut microbiome, belonging to the Lachnospiraceae family. This organism is recognized for its unique metabolic capacity, particularly its ability to ferment various substrates and produce lactate as a primary end-product. While research is still emerging, its presence and abundance are part of the complex microbial community that influences gut health, metabolic processes, and the overall host endocrine environment.
