Massilia brevitalea is a Gram-negative, strictly aerobic nonspore-forming short rodsbacterium from the genus Massilia and family Oxalobacteraceae, which was isolated from lysimeter soil. Colonies of M. brevitalea are pale white to yellow in color.
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.
