Massilia dura is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium from the genus Massilia and family Oxalobacteraceae, which was isolated with Massilia albidiflava, Massilia plicata , and Massilia lutea from soil samples collected from southeast China. [3] Colonies of M. dura are hard and compact and their color is pale white to yellow. [4]
The specific name dura comes from the Latin dura, which means "hard", because of the nature of the colonies. [5] [6]
