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]
