Muribaculaceae, previously known as S24-7, is a family of bacteria within the order Bacteroidales. Muribaculaceae is a prevalent and abundant bacterial component of the gut microbiome of mammals.
In 2016, family S24-7 was studied in-depth and given the name "Homeothermaceae", however, as no isolates were provided as type material, the name was not validated. [3]
The first isolated member of this family was Muribaculum intestinale as part of the mouse intestinal bacterial collection (miBC) in 2016. [4] However, validation of the family only occurred in 2019 after detailed analysis of this family, along with description of Duncaniella and Paramuribaculum, two additional genera within this family. [1]
In a recent study on mice, members of the family Muribaculaceae were shown to be major utilisers of mucus-derived monosaccharides in the gut. [5]
