Tumebacillus ginsengisoli is a species of Gram positive, aerobic, bacterium. The cells are rod-shaped, non-motile, and form spores. It was first isolated from soil in a ginseng field in Pocheon, South Korea, and the species name is derived from the ginseng soil isolation location. T. ginsengisoli was the second species added to the genus Tumebacillus.[1]

The optimum growth temperature for T. ginsengisoli is 25-30 °C, and can grow in the 25-42 °C range. Its optimum pH is 6.0-9.0, and grows in pH range 5.0-9.0. The bacterium forms white colonies on R2A agar.[1][2]
