Massilia lutea is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, short rod-shaped, motile bacterium with a peritrichous flagellum from the genus Massilia and family Oxalobacteraceae. [4] [5]
The specific name lutea comes from the Latin lutea which means golden yellow, because of the color of its colonies. [1]
