Abstract
Asaccharobacter celatus is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming and obligately anaerobic bacterium from the genus of Asaccharobacter which has been isolated from a rat caecum in Japan. Asaccharobacter celatus produces equol and 5-hydroxy equol. In 2018, the genus Asaccharobacter was transferred into the genus Aldercreutzia based on branching patterns observed in phylogenetic trees. The correct nomenclature is Adlercreutzia equolifaciens subsp. celatus.
