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]
The optimum growth temperature for T. ginsenosidimutans is 30 °C and can grow in the 10-40 °C range. The optimum pH is 7.0 and can grow in pH 5.0-10.0.[1]
