    A long-awaited taxogenomic investigation of the family Halomonadaceae by de la Haba, R. R., Arahal, D. R., Sánchez-Porro, C., Chuvochina, M., Wittouck, S., Hugenholtz, P., andVentosa, A. (2023). Front. Microbiol. 14:1293707. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1293707 In the published article, there was an error in the formation of the new combination Vreelandella utahensis, which should have been named Vreelandella halophila comb. nov. instead, using the earliest legitimate epithet of the species in application of Rule 41a (Oren et al., 2023).A correction has been made to the Taxonomic conclusions section, specifically to the Description of Vreelandella utahensis comb. nov. This section previously stated: "Description of Vreelandella utahensis comb. nov.Vreelandella utahensis (u.ta.hen'sis. N.L. fem. adj. utahensis, referring to Utah).Basonym: Halomonas utahensis Sorokin and Tindall, 2006.The description is as given in the proposal of the basonym (Sorokin and Tindall, 2006), with the following addition. The genome size of the type strain is 3.73 Mbp. The DNA G + C content is 55.8 mol%.Isolated from surface water from the North Arm of Great Salt Lake (United States).
