Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA sequence data showed that strain A9T was affiliated with the genus Massilia and showed the highest sequence similarities to Massilia plicata KCTC 12344T (98.8 %) and Massilia lurida CGMCC 1.10822T (97.9 %). The major fatty acids (>5 %) were summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C15 : 0 iso 2-OH), C16 : 0 and C18 : 1ω7c. Strain A9T contained Q-8 as the predominant ubiquinone and diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and an unidentified aminophospholipid as the predominant polar lipids. The DNA G+C content was 69.9 mol%. Mean DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain A9T and its closest phylogenetic relatives, M. plicata KCTC 12344T and M. lurida CGMCC 1.10822T, were 38.8 % and 23.23 %, respectively. On the basis of the results obtained in this study, strain A9T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Massilia , for which the name Massilia buxea sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is A9T (=DSM 103547T=CGMCC 1.15931T=KCTC 52429T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.002301
