Massilia brevitalea is a Gram-negative, strictly aerobic non-spore-forming short rods [3] bacterium from the genus Massilia and family Oxalobacteraceae, which was isolated from lysimeter soil. [4] Colonies of M. brevitalea are pale white to yellow in color. [5]
The specific name brevitalea comes from the Latin adjective brevis which means "short" and the Latin talea which means "bar" or "rod", which refers to the shape of cells. [6]
