International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 56 (10), 2449-2453. https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.64389-0.1466-50261466-5034https://hdl.handle.net/11441/164100A Gram-negative, motile, rod-shaped organism, strain AP13T, able to produce yellow-pigmented colonies, was isolated from the drinking water distribution system of Seville (Spain) and was characterized by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. In 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons, strain AP13T exhibited 96.9-95.6 % similarity with respect to the five recognized species of the genus Massilia. The DNA G+C content of strain AP13T was 66.0 mol%, a value that supports the affiliation of strain AP13T to the genus Massilia. DNA-DNA hybridization data and phenotypic properties confirmed that strain AP13T represents a novel species of the genus Massilia, for which the name Massilia aurea sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is AP13T (=CECT 7142T=CCM 7363T=DSM 18055T=JCM 13879T).application/pdf17 p.engAtribución 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttps://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.64389-0
