Brachybacterium horti

Brachybacterium horti is a species of Gram positive, facultatively anaerobic, white-pigmented bacterium. The cells are coccoid during the stationary phase, and irregular rods during the exponential phase. It was first isolated from soil from a garden in the Guro District of Seoul, South Korea. The species was first described in 2016, and the name is derived from the Latin horti.
The optimum growth temperature for B. horti is 25-37 °C, but can grow in the 18-37 °C range. The optimum pH is 7.0, and can grow in pH 6.5-7.5.
