Massilia aurea is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped non-spore-forming motile and strictly aerobic[3] bacterium from the genus Massilia and family Oxalobacteraceae. It was isolated from the drinking water distribution system in Seville, Spain.[4] M. aurea produces yellow-pigmented colonies.[5]

Etymology

The specific name aurea comes from the Latin adjective aurea ("golden") which refers to the yellow pigment that M. aurea produces.[1]
