Family of bacteria
The Aurantimonadaceae are a small family of
marine bacteria .
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.
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 ).
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.
