Abstract
The diversity of acetogens in human feces was analyzed with partial formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase (FTHFS) gene sequences. FTHFS sequences affiliated with Ruminococcus productus were predominantly recovered. Several sequences of acetogens that have not previously been identified were also recovered. Analysis of FTHFS sequences is available for the study of acetogenic ecology in the human intestinal tract.
