''Coprococcus'' (ATCC 27759) is a genus of anaerobic cocci which are all part of the human faecal flora, but rarely seen in human clinical specimens. 〔http://ijs.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-24-2-260?crawler=true&mimetype=application/pdf〕 "''Coprococcus includes those gram-positive, anaerobic cocci that actively ferment carbohydrates, producing butyric and acetic acids with formic or propionic and/or lactic acids. Fermentable carbohydrates are either required or are highly stimulatory for growth and continued subculture.''" - Lillian V. Holdeman & W. E. C. Moore. The genus is bio-chemically closely related to ''Ruminococcus'', and phylogenetically to the genus ''Lachnospira''. ''Coprococcus eutactus'' is an obligately anaerobic, nonmotile, gram-positive coccus occurring in pairs or chains of pairs. Cells may lose colour readily and acquire a slightly elongate shape in a medium containing a fermentable carbohydrate, but are normally round, and 0.7 to 1.3 µm in diameter. 〔http://www.bacterio.net/coprococcus.html〕 ''Coprococcus'' may be used as a microbial biomarker to assess the health of the human gastro-intestinal tract. Gut microorganisms maintain gastro-intestinal health and the mounting evidence of gastro-intestinal problems in autistic children makes a link between autism and intestinal microbiota highly probable, but the paucity of data on intestinal microflora means a definite link has not yet been demonstrated. Early studies overlooked potentially beneficial gut flora missing in autistic children. 〔http://azte.technologypublisher.com/technology/9580〕 ==''Coprococcus'' species== *''C. catus'' Holdeman & Moore *''C. comes'' Holdeman & Moore 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Coprococcus eutactus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
