Granulicatella balaenopterae (Basonym: Abiotrophia balaenopterae) is a bacterium from the genus Granulicatella which has been isolated from the lung of a beached common minke whale.
In 2000, following rRNA gene sequencing from Lawson and Collins, Granulicatella balaenopterae was reclassified from its previous genus, Abiotrophia, to Granulicatella.
