In the original article, there was a mistake in the legend for Figure 2 as published. It described that “The acid residue-abundant segment of Glu²⁵-Lys⁴⁶ (Glu⁶-Lys²⁷ in the processed protein base) in S. cohnii DSM 6307^T is indicated by green box” at L2 –L3. The correct legend appears below.

Figure 2. Amino acid sequence alignment of membrane bound cytochrome c-550 from Evansella clarkii and other alkaliphilic and neutralophilic Bacillaceae. Asn (N)-rich segment, Asn (N)²¹-Asn (N)⁴³ [Asn (N)⁴-Asn (N)²⁶ in the processed protein base] in the E. clarkii cytochromes c is indicated by red box. The acid residue-abundant segment of Glu²⁵-Lys⁴⁶ (Glu⁶-Lys²⁷ in the processed protein base) in S. cohnii DSM 6307^T is indicated by red box. N-terminal amino acid residue in processed cytochrome c, [Cys (C)] is indicated by blue marker. The blue boxed sequences are heme sequences representing heme-binding site and axical ligands (H and M). Acidic and basic residues are indicated by blue and red letters. Although A. pseudofirmus OF4 is a facultative alkaliphile, the species A. pseudofirmus and the presented cytochrome c sequence are classified in obligate alkaliphile. Although Sporosarcina pasteurii is an obligate alkaliphile, its cytochrome c sequence is similar to those in the facultative alkaliphilic strains.

In the original article, there was a mistake in Table 2 as published. The unit for respiratory rate was incorrect. The corrected Table 2 appears below.

Table 2. Summary for high aeration and low aeration in obligate alkaliphilic Evansella clarkii, facultative alkaliphilic Sutcliffiella cohnii, and neutralophilic Bacillussubtilis^*.
