Brachybacterium ginsengisoli

Brachybacterium ginsengisoli is a species of Gram positive, strictly aerobic, opaque bacterium. The cells are coccoid during the stationary phase, and irregular rods during the exponential phase. It was first isolated from soil in a ginseng field in Yeoncheon County, South Korea. The species was first described in 2014, and the name is derived from the Latin ginsengum (ginseng) and solum (soil).
