Hornefia is a genus of Gram-positive, strictly anaerobic, non-spore-forming bacteria belonging to the family Anaerovoracaceae. It was first described in 2020 following the isolation of two species, Hornefia butyriciproducens and Hornefia porci, from the porcine gastrointestinal tract.[1]
Etymology
The genus name Hornefia honors Professor Mathias W. Hornef, a German microbiologist recognized for his contributions to research on neonatal enteric infections.[2]
Species
The genus contains the following validly published species:
- Hornefia butyriciproducens – the type species, characterized by butyrate production during fermentation.
- Hornefia porci – similarly isolated from the swine gut, with distinct metabolic features.[1]
