 Alteromonas is a genus of Proteobacteria^[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.

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).
