Creative Biolabs supports innovators worldwide with end-to-end Clostridium leptum–focused microbiome CRO services, from strain isolation and functional profiling to fermentation, formulation, and engineered next-generation probiotic development for live biotherapeutic product (LBP) research pipelines.
Preferred microbiome CRO partner for C. leptum strain discovery, functional assessment, and translational LBP development across preclinical research portfolios.
C. leptum is a highly oxygen-sensitive, butyrate-producing member of Clostridium cluster IV and can represent over 15–20% of fecal microbiota in healthy adults. Its loss is repeatedly associated with inflammatory bowel disease and other dysbiosis-related conditions, underscoring its importance as a key gut commensal.
Beyond its role in colonic carbohydrate fermentation and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production, C. leptum drives regulatory T-cell expansion, shapes gut–lung and gut–brain immune axes, and is increasingly studied as a core component of next-generation probiotic consortia and synthetic microbiome communities.
Creative Biolabs performs selective isolation and screening of C. leptum from feces, gut contents, or bioreactor communities under strictly anaerobic conditions. We enrich, purify, and phenotype C. leptum candidates for butyrate output, carbohydrate utilization, immunomodulatory features, and suitability for downstream microbiome or LBP studies.
Accurate taxonomic and functional identification of C. leptum is essential for reproducible microbiome research. We combine 16S rRNA cluster-specific assays, targeted qPCR, and whole-genome sequencing to confirm C. leptum identity, resolve close relatives within cluster IV, and link genomic signatures to strain performance and safety attributes.
Because C. leptum is highly oxygen-sensitive, long-term stability is a major technical hurdle. Creative Biolabs develops custom stabilization strategies for C. leptum, including cryopreservation, lyophilization, carrier matrices, and packaging concepts that preserve viability, genetic integrity, and functional traits across storage, shipment, and formulation stress testing.
Our functional and mechanism-of-action (MoA) screening for C. leptum integrates in vitro immunology assays, epithelial barrier models, and co-culture systems. We profile Treg induction, cytokine modulation, barrier reinforcement, and cross-talk with other gut microbes to define mechanistic signatures relevant to allergy, IBD, metabolic, and neuroimmune research.
Creative Biolabs characterizes carbohydrate fermentative profiles of C. leptum using high-throughput anaerobic fermentation and metabolomics. We quantify SCFAs (including butyrate), lactate, gases, and secondary metabolites across fibers, resistant starches, and bespoke prebiotic substrates, supporting precision nutrition design and rational prebiotic–probiotic pairing strategies.
Our host–microbe interaction tests for C. leptum employ gut epithelial monolayers, mucus-producing co-cultures, and immune cell assays. We assess barrier integrity, tight-junction modulation, innate and adaptive immune responses, and gut–lung axis signaling to map how C. leptum shapes host physiology in controlled systems.
Creative Biolabs offers scalable anaerobic fermentation of C. leptum, from small-volume discovery batches to lab-scale production for animal studies. We optimize media, redox potential, and process parameters to maximize viable cell yields, metabolite profiles, and consistency across runs for downstream formulation or consortium assembly.
For groups exploring C. leptum as a next-generation probiotic candidate, we provide engineering and optimization services. These include strain selection, stress-tolerance enhancement, consortia design, genome-based safety annotation, and formulation compatibility testing to support rational development of C. leptum–containing microbiome interventions under research settings.

C. leptum abundance is consistently reduced in Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Modeling its restoration in vitro and in vivo helps dissect SCFA-mediated barrier support, mucus interactions, and microbiota resilience in IBD-related dysbiosis.
C. leptum promotes regulatory T-cell and IL-10-producing responses, making it a valuable tool in allergy and asthma research. Controlled exposure models probe how gut colonization shapes airway inflammation and systemic immune balance via the gut–lung axis.
As a butyrate-producing cluster IV member, C. leptum contributes to energy harvest, satiety signaling, and adipose–gut cross-talk. Experimental modulation of C. leptum supports research on metabolic inflammation, insulin sensitivity, and diet-responsive microbiome configurations in obesity models.
Cell-free supernatants and metabolites derived from C. leptum can be tested for effects on tumor cell proliferation, immune checkpoint pathways, and cytokine milieu. Such studies illuminate microbiome–cancer interactions and support discovery of microbiota-influenced response biomarkers.
C. leptum is a core component of defined consortia aiming to recapitulate healthy butyrate-producing communities. Rationally designed communities offer research alternatives to fecal microbiota transplantation, enabling controlled composition, manufacturing, and mechanism-driven microbiome interventions.
Because C. leptum levels correlate with gut health, quantitative assays using cultured strains or DNA standards support biomarker research, microbiome diagnostics, and response monitoring in nutrition, gastroenterology, and immunology studies.
