Terrabacter ginsenosidimutans
Terrabacter ginsenosidimutans is a species of Gram-positive, nonmotile, non-endosporeforming bacteria. Cells are short rods. It was initially isolated from ginseng soil from a farm near Pocheon, South Korea. The species was first described in 2010, and its name refers the bacteria's ability to transform ginsenosides into rare gypenosides.[1]
