Metabacterium polyspora is an unusual multiple endospore-producing bacterium isolated from the cecum of guinea pigs.[3] It is the only species in the genus Metabacterium. This bacterium is physically similar to the phylogenetically related surgeonfish intestinal symbiont Epulopiscium fishelsoni.[4]
