An unidentified Gram-negative-staining, aerobic, rod-shaped, spore-forming bacterium was isolated from a sample of cerebrospinal fluid. Based on comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences and phenotypic characteristics, the novel isolate was included in the Bacillus sphaericus-like group. The isolate was closely related to Bacillus odysseyi and Bacillus silvestris, with 96.2 and 94.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively. The major fatty acid was iso-C_{15 : 0} (48 %). The name Bacillus massiliensis sp. nov. is proposed for the novel isolate, with strain 4400831^T (=CIP 108446^T=CCUG 49529^T) as the type strain.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain 4400831^T is AY677116.

Transmission electron micrographs of cells of strain 4400831^T are available as supplementary material in IJSEM Online.
