Pedococcus cremeus is a species of Gram positive, strictly aerobic, non-motile, non-endosporeforming bacterium.[1] The species was initially isolated from forest soil from the Changbai Mountains. The species was first described in 2011, and its name refers to the cream-colored colonies the species produces on R2A agar.
