Acetate-producing bacteria

Colonization with Bacteroides caccae, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Bacteroides massiliensis or Parabacteroides distasonis led to increases in acetate relative to germ-free controls
Faith et al. 2014 Sci Transl Med. 6(220): 220ra11

Examples are

• Akkermansia muciniphila


• Bacteroides spp.
  
  
  • Bacteroides caccae
  
  
  • Bacteroides massiliensis
  
  
  • Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron
  
  
  
  


• Bifidobacterium / Bifidobacter spp.


• Desulfovibrio spp.


• Enterobacteriaceae / Enterobacteria


• Faecalibacterium prausnitzii


• Parabacteroides distasonis


• Ruminococcus spp.


• Veillonella spp.


• Xylanibacter / Prevotella spp.

Usually, bacteroides strains produce acetate and butyric acids decreasing the colon pH to <6.2. Otherwise, after streptomycin treatment no acetate and butyrate are produced by bacteroides strains inducing salmonella infection
