Clostridium butyricum

Clostridium butyricum

Clostridium butyricum is an anaerobic prokaryote that requires the absolute absence of oxygen to grow. It produces butyric acid which is an indicator of the presence of saccharolytic clostridia. It is an endospore-former and can live under rough conditions. It gets its energy through fermentation using granulose as a substrate.
