Massilia dura is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, nonspore-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]

Etymology

The specific name dura comes from the Latin dura, which means "hard", because of the nature of the colonies.[5][6]
