Roseburia cecicola | |
Roseburia is a genus of butyrate-producing, Gram-positive anaerobic bacteria that inhabit the human colon. Named in honor of Theodor Rosebury, they are members of the phylum Bacillota (formerly known as Firmicutes).
Increased abundance of Roseburia is associated with weight loss and reduced glucose intolerance in mice.
