Oxalobacter formigenes OXCC13
In the 80s, an anaerobic bacterium, with a substrate-specificity for oxalate, was isolated from rumen contents by Dr. M. Allison at Iowa State University. Later, when it was isolated from feces of humans and other animals, a new genus and species Oxalobacter formigenes, was established to include these microorganisms.
