In the original article, there was a mistake in the description of the new combinations in the newly proposed genus (Table 5). Culture collection number for Alkalihalobacterium bogoriense was given as MG 22234 in the original manuscript. It is changed to LMG 22234. The strain number for the type strain Alkalihalobacillus okhensis was incorrect. The corrected Table 5 appears below.
TABLE 5
Table 5. Description of the new combinations in the newly proposed genus.
In the original article, there was an error in the naming of a family species, Bacilla was written where it should be Bacillaceae. A correction has been made to Materials and Methods, Genome Sequences Used in This Study and Pathway Analysis, paragraph one:
“Type strains of 41 species of the genus Alkalihalobacillus (28 type strains), Desertibacillus, and Anaerobacillus and type species of the different genera of the family Bacillaceae, whose genomes were available in the public database, were considered in this study. Fifty genomes of non-type strains of genus Alkalihalobacillus were also included in this study. Streptococcus gordonii ATCC 10558T and Streptococcus agalactiae ATCC 13813T genomes were used to root (outgroup) the phylogenetic tree. The genome of strain MEB199T and Desertibacillus haloalkaliphilus KJ1-10-99T were sequenced under this study, and all the other genomes were downloaded from the PATRIC database (Supplementary Table 1). The functional annotations of each genome was carried out using EggNOG-mapper v2 (Cantalapiedra et al., 2021). The pathway was mapped using the KEGG Orthology (KO) Database3 for all the selected genomes. Heatmap to visualize the distribution of pathways across all the members of the genus Alkalihalobacillus was constructed using heatmapper.4”
The authors apologize for these errors and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way.
