Along with over a decade of extensive experience in next-generation probiotics (NGPs), Creative Biolabs has won a great reputation among our worldwide customers for accomplishing numerous challenging projects. The Clostridia genus consists of a large and heterogeneous group of gram-positive, spore-forming bacteria that could be used as probiotic agents for the therapy of different diseases.
Introduction of Clostridium spp.
The genus Clostridium is a diverse group of rod-shaped bacteria characterized by a gram-positive cell wall structure, fermentative anaerobic metabolism, and the formation of endospores. The genus Clostridium presently comprises a large collection of more than 100 physiologically diverse Gram-positive bacterial species. The Clostridium spp. includes common free-living bacteria and important pathogens. They are normal in the soil, aquatic sediments, and intestinal tract of both animals and humans. Although they have a consequence of pathogenic representatives such as C. botulinum or C. tetani, most of the members are nonpathogenic. Nonpathogenic species include the following. These species of Clostridium are used in acetone, butanol, and isopropanol fermentation.
