Glutamicibacter protophormiae

Glutamicibacter protophormiae is a bacterium belonging to the genus Glutamicibacter. It contains a glycolipid 3-[O-α-D-mannopyranosyl-(1→3)-O-α-D-mannopyranosyl]-sn-1,2-diglyceride (DMDG). It has peptidoglycan type A4α with a bridge of (Lys–Ala–L-Glu). It has unsaturated menaquinones, dominated by MK-8. It does not contain the lipid phosphatidylinositol.[1]

  • Arthrobacter protophormiae (Lysenko 1959) Stackebrandt et al. 1984
  • Brevibacterium protophormiae Lysenko 1959 (Approved Lists 1980)

The species was described by O. Lysenko in 1959 with genus Brevibacterium.[2] B. protophormiae was reclassified in 1984 as Arthrobacter protophormiae[3] and as Glutamicibacter protophormiae in 2016.[1]

The cell wall of G. protophormiae contains a teichoic acid that contains glucose, glycerol, glucosamine, and galactosamine.[4]
