Planomicrobium koreense

Planomicrobium koreense is a species of bacteria. It was first found by Jung-Hoon Yoon in Jeotgal, a salted fermented food made in Korean.[1] Jung-Hoon Yoon found in Jeotgal also other new bacteria like Jeotgalicoccus psychrophilus and Jeotgalicoccus halotolerans.[1] The cells are rods. Sometimes they can be first coccoid but after some time they change to rods. Planomicrobium koreense is gram-positive. Sometimes the older cells change to gram negative. They have a single polar flagellum.[1]
