Overview

  • Lachnoclostridium pacaense, (aka Clostridium pacaense), is a Gram-variable, spore-forming, anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 50%. Lachnoclostridium pacaense is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Pham2017a; Hosny2019)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (Pham2017a). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
