Glutamicibacter protophormiae
Species of bacterium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glutamicibacter protophormiae is a bacterium belonging to the genus Glutamicibacter. It contains a glycolipid 3-[O-α-D-mannopyranosyl-(1→3)-O-α-D-mannopyranosyl]-sn-1,2-diglyceride (DMDG). It has peptidoglycan type A4α with a bridge of (Lys–Ala–L-Glu). It has unsaturated menaquinones, dominated by MK-8. It does not contain the lipid phosphatidylinositol.[1]

The species was described by O. Lysenko in 1959 with genus Brevibacterium.[2] B. protophormiae was reclassified in 1984 as Arthrobacter protophormiae[3] and as Glutamicibacter protophormiae in 2016.[1]
The cell wall of G. protophormiae contains a teichoic acid that contains glucose, glycerol, glucosamine, and galactosamine.[4]
