Brachybacterium zhongshanense is a species of Gram positive, facultatively anaerobic, halotolerant, cream-pigmented bacterium. The cells are coccoid during the stationary phase, and irregular rods during the exponential phase. It was first isolated from sediment along the Qijiang River, Zhongshan, China . The species was first proposed in 2011, and the name refers to the city from which it was first isolated.[1]

The optimum growth temperature for B. zhongshanense is 25-40 °C, but can grow in the 25-37 °C range. The pH optimum is 5.0-8.0, and can grow in the 5.0-11.0 range. The cells are halotolerant, and can grow in NaCl salt concentrations up to 10%.[1]
