Halomonas massiliensis is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, motile, rod-shaped - curved bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. Halomonas massiliensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Seck2016a)

This organism has been recovered from the faeces of a healthy man from Senegal. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
