Clostridium magnum

◑ Environmental
Sequenced
Public genome assembly available

Clostridium magnum is an obligate anaerobe classified as an acetogenic bacterium, meaning it produces acetate as a primary metabolic end product by reducing carbon dioxide with molecular hydrogen, a process called acetogenesis. The indexed research covers its lithotrophic growth, the acetoin dehydrogenase enzyme system, oxygen tolerance mechanisms, and more recently its characterization as a potential bio-stabilizing agent in anaerobic digestion of organic waste. C. magnum is not a probiotic organism; it is studied primarily in the context of environmental biotechnology and anaerobic fermentation rather than gut health or human supplementation. These are research topics, not findings; the papers do not establish that this strain treats or prevents any condition.
