Genomic insights into the human gut commensal Megasphaera elsdenii: Relatedness and metabolic potential compared to animal isolates

2026-07-30

Abstract excerpt

Megasphaera elsdenii is best known as a prominent lactate consumer within the rumen microbial community in livestock, and its metabolic properties are relatively well studied. In humans, it can be isolated from healthy donors′ feces and, more often, from patients′ feces with diverse inflammatory conditions. Genetic diversity of this species is poorly understood, and it is currently unclear whether human and animal...
