Isolation of potentially novel species expands the genomic and functional diversity of Lachnospiraceae
•Comprehensive genome analysis reveals underestimated species diversity and distinct functions of Lachnospiraceae. •Cataloging 1.5M genes highlights Lachnospiraceae’s significant role in the human gut microbiota, with potential novel species contributing. •Lachnospiraceae demonstrates a vast potential for synthesizing short-chain fatty acid (SCFA), producing secondary metabolites, and forming spores, which is promising for future studies and applications. •The abundance of Lachnospiraceae correlates inversely with diseases like atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), indicating a potential protective role.
