Glutamicibacter protophormiae is a bacterium belonging to the genus Glutamicibacter. It contains a glycolipid 3-[O-α-D-mannopyranosyl-(1→3)-O-α-D-mannopyranosyl]-sn-1,2-diglyceride (DMDG). It has peptidoglycan type A4α with a bridge of (Lys–Ala–L-Glu). It has unsaturated menaquinones, dominated by MK-8. It does not contain the lipid phosphatidylinositol.

The species was described by O. Lysenko in 1959 with genus Brevibacterium.{{cite journal |last1=Lysenko |first1=O. |title=The occurrence of species of the genus Brevibacterium in insects |journal=J Insect Pathol |date=1959 |volume=1 |pages=34–42}} B. protophormiae was reclassified in 1984 as Arthrobacter protophormiae{{cite journal |last1=Stackebrandt |first1=E. |last2=Fowler |first2=V.

The cell wall of G. protophormiae contains a teichoic acid that contains glucose, glycerol, glucosamine, and galactosamine.{{cite book |last1=Whitman |first1=William B. |last2=Goodfellow |first2=Michael |last3=Kämpfer |first3=Peter |last4=Busse |first4=Hans-Jürgen |last5=Trujillo |first5=Martha E. |last6=Ludwig |first6=Wolfgang |last7=Suzuki |first7=Ken-ichiro |title=Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology: Volume 5: The Actinobacteria |date=2012 |publisher=Springer Science & Business Media |isbn=9780387682334 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=66UMS7A2KisC&pg=PA583 |language=en|page=583}}
