Mediterraneibacter faecis (also Ruminococcus faecis) is an anaerobic, Gram-positive, non-motile, and non-spore-forming species of bacteria,^[1] originally isolated from the faeces of a healthy 26-year-old male during a study on the diversity of cultivable intestinal microbiota of Koreans.^[2]

The cells of M. faecis have a coccoid or oval shape and are generally observed in chains.^[1] Their optimal growth temperature is 37 °C and cells are oxidase-negative and catalase-positive.
