Alteromonas is a genus of Pseudomonadota[1] found in sea water, either in the open ocean or in the coast. It is Gram-negative. Its cells are curved rods with a single polar flagellum.
Etymology
[edit]The etymology of the genus is Latin alter -tera -terum, another, different; monas (μονάς), a noun with a special meaning in microbiology used to mean unicellular organism; to give Alteromonas, another monad[2]
Members of the genus Alteromonas can be referred to as alteromonads (viz. Trivialisation of names).
Authority
[edit]The genus was described by Baumann et al. in 1972,[3] but was emended by Novick and Tyler 1985 to accommodate Alteromonas luteoviolacea (now Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea),[4] Gauthier et al. 1995, who split the genus in two (Pseudoalteromonas)[5] and Van Trappen et al. in 2004 to accommodate Alteromonas stellipolaris.[6]
Shipworm Symbiont
[edit]"Alteromonas-like sub-group" has been identified by microbial culture, metagenomics, and FISH-probe microscopy in the typhlosole sub-organ of the shipworm cecum as a symbiont digesting lignin.[7]
Species
[edit]The genus contains eight species (but 21 basonyms), namely[2]
- A. addita (Ivanova et al. 2005, added, joined to the genus)
- A. genovensis ( Vandecandelaere et al. 2008, genovensis, pertaining to Genova (Genoa), Italy, where the seawater electroactive biofilms originated)[8]
- A. hispanica ( Martínez-Checa et 'al. 2005, hispanica, Spanish)
- A. litorea ( Yoon et al.. 2004, litorea, of the shore)
- A. macleodii ( Baumann et al. 1972 (type species of the genus, named after R.A. MacLeod, a Canadian microbiologist who pioneered studies on the biochemical bases of the Na+ requirement of marine bacteria)[8]
- A. marina ( Yoon et al.. 2003, marina, of the sea, marine)
- A. simiduii ( Chiu et al.. 2007, named after Usio Simidu, a Japanese microbiologist, for his work on marine microbiology)[9]
- A. stellipolaris ( Van Trappen et al.. 2004, stella, star; polaris, polar, referring to the Polarstern (AWI, Bremerhaven), the name of the vessel that was used to collect the sample from which the organisms were isolated)[10]
- A. tagae ( Chiu et al.. 2007, named after Nobuo Taga, a pioneering Japanese marine microbiologist)[9]
