Abstract

Abstract Ca.pro.i.ci.pro.du'cens. N.L. neut. n. acidum caproicum , caproic acid; L. pres. part. producens , producing; N.L. masc. n. Caproiciproducens , the bacteria producing caproic acid. Firmicutes / Clostridia / Clostridiales / Ruminococcaceae / Caproiciproducens Caproiciproducens are Gram‐stain‐positive, non‐spore‐forming bacilli and strictly anaerobic bacteria. Caproiciproducens produce acids using carbohydrates such as glycerol, l ‐arabinose, l ‐ribose, d ‐xylose, l ‐galactose, d ‐glucose, d ‐fructose, d ‐mannose, dulcitol, glucosamine, d ‐cellobiose, starch, glycogen, d ‐tagatose and l ‐fucose. Caproiciproducens produces acetic acid, butyric acid, caproic acid, and H 2 and CO 2 . Especially, Caproiciproducens produces caproic acid mainly under the condition used carbohydrates like sugar alcohols. The major fatty acids of cellular membrane are C 16:0 DMA and C 16:0 aldehyde. Phylogenetically, the genus represents a distinct lineage in Clostridium Cluster IV. DNA G + C content (mol%) : 50.0 ( T m ). Type species : Caproiciproducens galactitolivorans Kim et al. 2015 vp .
