Brachybacterium endophyticum 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 surface-sterilized bark of Scutellaria baicalensis from Guizhou, China. The species was first proposed in 2018, and the name refers to the fact that the bacteria is likely an endophyte.[1]
