Mycolicibacillus koreensis (formerly Mycobacterium koreense[2]) is a slow-growing, non-chromogenic species of Mycolicibacillus originally isolated from the sputum of a human patient.[1] It grows at temperatures from 25 to 37 °C and is susceptible to
quinolones.[4] The genome of M. koreensis contains a
tRNA array that contains a
long non-coding RNA called GOLDD.[5][6]
