Introduction of Clostridium tyrobutyricum

Clostridium tyrobutyricum is a species of anaerobic Clostridium. In comparison with other Gram-positive bacteria, the cell wall of Clostridium tyrobutyricum is composed predominantly of higher protein, lower insoluble peptidoglycans, neutral sugar, and no teichuronic acids. In recent years, studies have found that Clostridium butyricum can protect the barrier function of different tissues, including the intestine, endometrium, and testes. Different from other non-sporulating probiotics, Clostridium tyrobutyricum shows good resistance to the gastrointestinal environment. Clostridium tyrobutyricum is considered arguably the most commercially valuable microbial cell factory for the production of various chemicals. This organism is widely used as a butyric acid production strain due to the higher butyric acid yield and purity, better stability, and lower nutritional requirements. In addition, Clostridium tyrobutyricum was isolated for the first time from the cheese fermentation process and may be a promising functional probiotic used for the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), thereby inhibiting the formation of intestinal tumors induced by a high-fat diet.

Clostridium tyrobutyricum and Diseases

  • Clostridium tyrobutyricum can be used to treat and/or prevent certain animal and human diseases. Research has shown that it can prevent epithelial dysfunction and inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Furthermore, it inhibits endometrial barrier disruption and inflammatory reactions as a potential probiotic which may mitigate Staphylococcus aureus caused endometritis in mice. During CCL4-induced inflammation, Clostridium tyrobutyricum increased the level of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 and decreased the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 by regulating the Nrf2 and NF-κB signaling pathways.

  • Histone deacetylase (HDAC) is one of the enzymes in the regulation of pro-inflammatory gene transcription in immune cells. Butyrate, as an inhibitor of HDAC, has been reported to have anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties and to enhance blood-tissue barrier function. Clostridium tyrobutyricum has the physiological function of producing butyrate. In addition, colonization of Clostridium tyrobutyricum could regulate gut microbial metabolic pathways to promote SCFA production and regulate the immune response.
