Abstract
The Celerinatantimonadaceae are members of the Alteromonadales in the Gammaproteobacteria Cramer et al. (Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 61:1053-1060, 2011). As such they are Gram negative, do not form endospores, and are motile by means of a single flagellum. Celerinatantimonadaceae is a monogeneric family containing at present a single species, Celerinatantimonas diazotrophica. Phylogenetic neighbors include the families Alteromonadaceae and Colwelliaceae.
