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. [1]

Cupriavidus is a genus of bacteria that includes the former genus Wautersia. They are characterized as Gram-negative, motile, rod-shaped organisms with oxidative metabolism. They possess peritrichous flagella, are obligate aerobic organisms, and are chemoorganotrophic or chemolithotrophic. Resistance to metals has been described. These organisms have been found in both soil and in clinical isolates.
Thermoanaerobacter is a genus in the phylum Bacillota (Bacteria). Members of this genus are thermophilic and anaerobic, several of them were previously described as Clostridium species and members of the now obsolete genera Acetogenium and Thermobacteroides
Actinocatenispora is a genus in the phylum Actinomycetota (Bacteria).
Actinocorallia is a genus in the phylum Actinomycetota (Bacteria).
Daeguia is a genus in the phylum Pseudomonadota (Bacteria).
Deferribacter is a genus in the phylum Deferribacterota (Bacteria).
Akkermansia is a genus in the phylum Verrucomicrobiota (Bacteria). The genus was first proposed by Derrien et al. (2004), with the type species Akkermansia muciniphila.
Aliagarivorans is a genus in the phylum Pseudomonadota (Bacteria).
Alicycliphilus is a genus in the phylum Pseudomonadota (Bacteria).
Alishewanella is a genus in the phylum Pseudomonadota (bacteria).

Tamlana is a genus in the phylum Bacteroidota (Bacteria). Two species have been described so far: T. agarivorans and T. crocina.
The Selenomonadales are an order of bacteria within the class Negativicutes; unlike most other members of Bacillota, they are Gram-negative. The phylogeny of this order was initially determined by 16S rRNA comparisons. More recently, molecular markers in the form of conserved signature indels (CSIs) have been found specific for all Selenomonadales species. On the basis of these markers, the Selenomonadales are inclusive of two distinct families, and are no longer the sole order within the Negativicutes. Several CSIs have also been found specific for both families, Sporomusaceae and Selenomonadceae. Samples of bacterial strains within this order have been isolated from the root canals of healthy human teeth.
Aurantimonas coralicida is a gram-negative bacterium, and a causative agent of white plague in Caribbean corals. It is rod-shaped, with polar flagella.
Pseudoxanthobacter is a genus of Gram-negative, rod-shaped, aerobic and nitrogen-fixing bacteria from the family Pseudoxanthobacteraceae.
Erythrobacteraceae is a bacterium family in the order of Sphingomonadales.
Ciceribacter is a bacterial genus of the family Rhizobiaceae.
Haloferacaceae is a family of halophilic, chemoorganotrophic or heterotrophic archaea within the order Haloferacales. The type genus of this family is Haloferax. Its biochemical characteristics are the same as the order Haloferacales.
Mahella is a genus in the phylum Bacillota (Bacteria). The name Mahella derives from: Neo-Latin feminine gender dim. noun Mahella, named in honour of the American microbiologist Professor R.A. Mah, for his important contribution to the taxonomy of anaerobes.
Pleomorphomonadaceae is a family of Alphaproteobacteria.
