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.[1] The species was originally classified as Micrococcus conglomeratus for over 60 years,[2] until most species were reclassified as Brachybacterium conglomeratum in 1995. The name is derived from Latin conglomeratum (rolled together).
