Ruminococcus is a genus of bacteria in the class
Clostridia. They are anaerobic, gram-positive
gut microbes. One or more species in this genus are found in significant numbers in the intestines of humans. The type species is
R. flavefaciens. As usual, bacteria taxonomy is in flux, with Clostridia being
paraphyletic, and some erroneous members of
Ruminococcus being reassigned to a new genus
Blautia on the basis of
16S rRNA gene sequences.
