Brachybacterium
''Brachybacterium'' is a genus of Gram positive, nonmotile bacteria. The cells are coccoid during the stationary phase, and irregular rods during the exponential phase. The genus name comes from Greek word ''brachy'', meaning short, and Latin ''bacterium'', meaning rods, referencing the short rods noted during the exponential phase. The type species of the genus, ''Brachybacterium faecium'', was first isolated from poultry deep litter Deep or The Deep may refer to: Places United States * Deep Creek (Appomattox River tributary), Virginia * Deep Creek (Great Salt Lake), Idaho and Utah * Deep Creek (Mahantango Creek tributary), Pennsylvania * Deep Creek (Mojave River tributary) ... in 1966 along with several other species. Speciation of the strains was performed in 1975, but three of the strains did not cluster with any known taxon. In 1988, further work was performed on the previously unclassified organisms, and the current genus was proposed. ''Brachybacteria'' have been isol ...

Brachybacterium Paraconglomeratum
''Brachybacterium paraconglomeratum'' is a species of Gram positive, facultatively anaerobic, pale brown pigmented bacterium. The cells are coccoid during the stationary phase, and irregular rods during the exponential phase. The species was identified when a strain of '' Brachybacterium faecium'' was found to be a different species of ''Brachybacterium''. The name is derived from Latin ''para'' (alongside of, resembling) and ''conglomeratum'' (rolled together). ''B. paraconglomeratum'' resembles '' Brachybacterium conglomeratum'' phenotypically, and but are separate species based on DNA–DNA hybridization In genomics, DNA–DNA hybridization is a molecular biology technique that measures the degree of genetic similarity between DNA sequences. It is used to determine the genetic distance between two organisms and has been used extensively in phylo .... ''B. paraconglomeratum'' and ''B. conglomeratum'' were first proposed as species in the same paper in 1995, along with '' B. ...

Brachybacterium Rhamnosum
''Brachybacterium rhamnosum'' is a species of Gram positive, facultatively anaerobic, whitish yellow-pigmented bacterium. The cells are coccoid during the stationary phase, and irregular rods during the exponential phase. It was first isolated from corn steep liquor, and the species was proposed in 1995 along with '' Brachybacterium conglomeratum'' and '' B. paraconglomeratum''. The name is derived from the fact that there is an abundance of the sugar rhamnose in the cell wall A cell wall is a structural layer that surrounds some Cell type, cell types, found immediately outside the cell membrane. It can be tough, flexible, and sometimes rigid. Primarily, it provides the cell with structural support, shape, protection, ....

Brachybacterium Conglomeratum
''Brachybacterium conglomeratum'' is a species of Gram positive, facultatively anaerobic, whitish yellow to pale brown pigmented bacterium. The cells are coccoid during the stationary phase, and irregular rods during the exponential phase. The species was originally classified as ''Micrococcus conglomeratus'' for over 60 years,Sanborn JRCertain relationships of marine bacteria to the decomposition of fish.Journal of Bacteriology. 1930 Jun;19(6):375. until most species were reclassified as ''Brachybacterium conglomeratum'' in 1995. The name is derived from Latin Latin ( or ) is a classical language belonging to the Italic languages, Italic branch of the Indo-European languages. Latin was originally spoken by the Latins (Italic tribe), Latins in Latium (now known as Lazio), the lower Tiber area aroun ... ''conglomeratum'' (rolled together).

Brachybacterium Tyrofermentans
''Brachybacterium tyrofermentans'' is a species of Gram positive, facultatively anaerobic, pale yellow-pigmented bacterium. The cells are coccoid during the stationary phase, and irregular rods during the exponential phase. It was first isolated from the surfaces of Beaufort and Gruyère cheeses in 1978, along with '' Brachybacterium alimentarium''. Further work led to the proposal of the new species in 1996, and the name is derived from the Latin Latin ( or ) is a classical language belonging to the Italic languages, Italic branch of the Indo-European languages. Latin was originally spoken by the Latins (Italic tribe), Latins in Latium (now known as Lazio), the lower Tiber area aroun ... ''tyros'' (cheese) and ''fermentans'' (leavening), referring to the fermented cheese from which it was first isolated. The optimum growth temperature for ''B. tyrofermentans'' is 30 °C, but can grow in the 20-37 °C range. The optimum pH is 7.3. References External link ...

Brachybacterium Sacelli
''Brachybacterium sacelli'' is a species of Gram positive, strictly aerobic, cream-pigmented bacterium. The cells are coccoid during the stationary phase, and irregular rods during the exponential phase. It was first isolated from a medieval wall painting of the chapel of Schloss Herberstein in Styria, Austria Austria, formally the Republic of Austria, is a landlocked country in Central Europe, lying in the Eastern Alps. It is a federation of nine Federal states of Austria, states, of which the capital Vienna is the List of largest cities in Aust .... The species was proposed in 2014, and the name is derived from Latin ''sacelli'' (of the chapel). Another novel species '' B. fresconis'' was isolated from the same painting. The optimum growth temperature for ''B. sacelli'' is 20-30 °C, but can grow in the 5-40 °C range. References Micrococcales Bacteria described in 2002 {{Brachybacterium-stub ...
