Microorganisms of interesting metabolic properties include non-pathogenic bacteria of the genus Clostridium. The genus Clostridium is one of the largest in the Kingdom of Prokaryotes. These are anaerobic heterogenic bacteria, typically Gram-positive. Their distinctive feature is a cylindrical shape. Cells of bacteria of the genus Clostridium are ciliated, mobile and capable of forming endospores. For most species, the optimum growth temperature falls within the 30–40 °C range, while the optimum pH is contained in the 6.5–7.5 range.


C. butyricum is a typical butyric acid bacterium found in soil and intestines of healthy animals and humans. An increasing number of reports on the probiotic potential of C. butyricum have been published. C. butyricum also plays a considerable role in soil mineralization processes and conversion of organic matter. A well-known property of C. butyricum is their ability to produce butyric acid and hydrogen, as well as effectively convert glycerol to 1,3-propanediol. We have characterized potent features of C. butyricum specific isolates in terms of their phylogenetic affiliation, fermentation capacity and antibacterial properties.
