  2. Clostridium butyricum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clostridium_butyricum

    Clostridium butyricum is a strictly anaerobic endospore-forming Gram-positive butyric acid–producing bacillus subsisting by means of fermentation using an intracellularly accumulated amylopectin-like α-polyglucan (granulose) as a substrate. It is uncommonly reported as a human pathogen and is widely used as a probiotic in Japan, Korea, and ...

  3. Butyric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butyric_acid

    Butyric acid (/ ˈ b j uː t ɪ r ɪ k /; from Ancient Greek: βούτῡρον, meaning "butter"), also known under the systematic name butanoic acid, is a straight-chain alkyl carboxylic acid with the chemical formula CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 COOH. It is an oily, colorless liquid with an unpleasant odor.

  4. Butyrate fermentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butyrate_fermentation

    Butyrate fermentation is a process that produces butyric acid via anaerobic bacteria. This process occurs commonly in clostridia which can be isolated from many anaerobic environments such as mud, fermented foods, and intestinal tracts or feces. [1]

  6. Sodium butyrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_butyrate

    Sodium butyrate is a compound with formula Na(C 3 H 7 COO). It is the sodium salt of butyric acid.It has various effects on cultured mammalian cells including inhibition of proliferation, induction of differentiation and induction or repression of gene expression. [1]

  7. Tributyrin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tributyrin

    It is an ester composed of butyric acid and glycerol. [1] Among other things, it is used as an ingredient in making margarine. It is present in butter and can be described as a liquid fat with an acrid taste. Tributyrin is also used in microbiological laboratories to identify the bacterium Moraxella catarrhalis. [2]

  8. Butyraldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butyraldehyde

    Butyraldehyde undergoes reactions typical of alkyl aldehydes, and these define many of the uses of this compound.Important reactions include hydrogenation to the alcohol, oxidation to the acid, and base-catalyzed condensation.

  9. Butyryl-CoA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butyryl-CoA

    Butyryl-CoA (or butyryl-coenzyme A, butanoyl-CoA) is an organic coenzyme A-containing derivative of butyric acid. [1] It is a natural product found in many biological pathways, such as fatty acid metabolism (degradation and elongation), fermentation, and 4-aminobutanoate (GABA) degradation.
