Pedococcus cremeus is a species of Gram positive, strictly aerobic, non-motile, non-endosporeforming bacterium.^[1] The species was first isolated from forest soil in the Changbai Mountains. The species was described in 2011. Its name refers to the cream-colored colonies the species produces on R2A agar.

P. cremeus grows opitmally at 29°C, within a temperature range of 14-35°C. It has an optimum pH of 7.0-8.0, but can grow in a broader pH range of 4.1-10.0.^[1]
