We have recently (8th February 2018) published our article entitled “Molecular, biochemical and kinetic analysis of a novel, thermostable lipase (LipSm) from Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Psi-1, the first member of a new bacterial lipase family (XVIII)” [1]. While our manuscript was going through the final stages of publication, an article by Samoylova et al. [2] was published (12th January 2018) in the journal Extremophiles, entitled “Cloning, expression and characterization of the esterase estUT1 from Ureibacillus thermosphaericus which belongs to a new lipase family XVIII”. Since we could not have known of the work of Samoylova et al. [2] when we submitted our manuscript, and in order to avoid confusion in the scientific community, we propose to reclassify LipSm as the first characterized member of the new bacterial lipase family XIX. Therefore throughout our article [1] “lipase family XVIII” should read “lipase family XIX” (title included).

我们最近（2018年2月8日）发表了题为“嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌Psi-1（一种新的细菌脂肪酶家族（XVIII）的第一个成员）的新型热稳定脂肪酶（LipSm）的分子，生化和动力学分析”的文章[1 ]。当我们的手稿进入出版的最后阶段时，Samoylova等人发表了一篇文章。[2]（2018年1月12日）发表在《极端微生物》杂志上，题为“属于新脂肪酶家族XVIII的热球形芽孢杆菌酯酶estUT1的克隆，表达和表征”。由于我们无法了解Samoylova等人的工作。[2]当我们提交稿件时，为了避免在科学界引起混乱，我们建议将LipSm重新分类为新的细菌脂肪酶家族XIX的第一个特征成员。
