Spore formation by the human gut pathogen Clostridium difficile , a strict anaerobe, provides protection from oxygen during transmission between hosts. However, whether anaerobic bacteria of the commensal gut microbiota can also form spores for transmission is not known. Browne et al. By combining the method with selection for ethanol-resistant cultures, 66 candidate spore-forming bacterial species were isolated.

Genes that were conserved among these species were also present in C. Browne, H. Culturing of 'unculturable' human microbiota reveals novel taxa and extensive sporulation. Download references. You can also search for this author in PubMed Google Scholar. Reprints and Permissions. Attar, N.
