Cetobacterium someriae[2]

Cetobacterium somerae[2] is a microaerotolerant, Gram-negative, and rod-shaped anaerobic bacteria found in the gastrointestinal tract of fish living in freshwater ecosystems.[3] The bacteria is also immobile and non-spore forming.[4][3] C. somerae was first isolated from the feces of children with Autism spectrum disorder.[3] Members of bacteria within the Cetobacterium genus tend to dominate the microbiota of fish in freshwater ecosystems.[5] Cetobacterium somerae also produces vitamin B-12 within the gastrointestinal tract of fish in order to provide nutritional support for growth.[5]
