Asaccharobacter celatus is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming and obligately anaerobic bacterium from the genus of Asaccharobacter which has been isolated from a rat caecum in Japan.[1][3][4][5] Asaccharobacter celatus produces equol and 5-hydroxy equol.[5][6]
In 2018, the genus Asaccharobacter was transferred into the genus Adlercreutzia based on branching patterns observed in phylogenetic trees.[7] The correct nomenclature is Adlercreutzia equolifaciens subsp. celatus.[8]
