Brachybacterium ginsengisoli is a species of Gram positive, strictly aerobic, opaque bacterium. The cells are coccoid during the stationary phase, and irregular rods during the exponential phase. It was first isolated from soil in a ginseng field in Yeoncheon County, South Korea . The species was first described in 2014, and the name is derived from the Latin ginsengum (ginseng) and solum (soil).

The optimum growth temperature for B. ginsengisoli is 25 °C, but can grow in the 4-34 °C range. The optimum pH is 6.5-7.5, and can grow in pH 5.0-10.0.[1]
