The Aurantimonadaceae are a small family of marine bacteria.
Notable Species
[edit]Aurantimonas coralicida causes a white plague in corals.[3]
Fulvimarina pelagi was isolated from seawater, and takes the form of nonmotile rods.[4] Fulvimarina pelagi is an obligate aerobe, and obtains its nourishment chemoheterotrophically. It tests positive for oxidase and catalase, and contains carotenoid pigments, possibly to protect against solar radiation.
Etymology
[edit]The name Aurantimonas derives from: Neo-Latin aurantus, orange-coloured; Greek monas (μονάς), a unit; to mean an orange-coloured unicellular organism.[5]
Members of the genus Aurantimonas can be referred to as aurantimonads (viz. trivialisation of names).
Phylogeny
[edit]The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN).[2] The phylogeny is based on whole-genome analysis.[1]
