Pedococcus ginsenosidimutans is a species of Gram positive, strictly aerobic, non-endosporeforming bacterium.[1] The species was initially isolated from soil from a ginseng field from Paektu Mountain, Jinlin District, China. The species was first described in 2016, and its name refers to the species ability to convert ginsenoside.
