A bacterial strain, S21B^T, was isolated from Altamira Cave (Cantabria, Spain). The cells were Gram-negative, short rods growing aerobically. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain S21B^T represented a separate subline of descent within the family ‘Aurantimonadaceae’ (showing 96 % sequence similarity to Aurantimonas coralicida) in the order Rhizobiales (Alphaproteobacteria). The major fatty acids detected were C_{16 : 0} and C_{18 : 1}7c. The G+C content of the DNA from strain S21B^T was 71.8 mol%. Oxidase and catalase activities were present. Strain S21B^T utilized a wide range of substrates for growth. On the basis of the results of this polyphasic study, isolate S21B^T represents a novel species of the genus Aurantimonas, for which the name Aurantimonas altamirensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S21B^T (=CECT 7138^T=LMG 23375^T).
