Correction to: Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (2021) 114:1013–1024 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10482-021-01572-0

In the original publication of the article by Lee, Yang and Kim published in Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (2021) 114:1013–1024, the sentence ‘Type strain SAP-1T (= KCTC 72599T = CCM 9078T) was isolated from tree sap drawn from Acer pictum in Mt. Halla in Jeju, Republic of Korea.’ should be changed to the sentence ‘Type strain SAP-1T (= KCTC 72959T = CCM 9078T) was isolated from tree sap drawn from Acer pictum in Mt. Halla in Jeju, Republic of Korea.’ in the ‘Description of Rouxiella aceris sp. nov.’ on 30th line of the right column of page 1021.

The sentence in ‘Description of Rouxiella aceris sp. nov.’ should have read:

Description of Rouxiella aceris sp. nov.

Rouxiella aceris (a’ce.ris. L. gen. n. aceris of Acer, isolated from sap of Acer pictum Thunb.).

Cells are Gram-reaction-negative, facultatively anaerobic, short rods (0.6–0.9 × 1.1–1.4 µm) and motile by means of a polar flagellum. Catalase-positive and oxidase-nagative. Colonies are white in colour, circular, convex with entire margin and reaches 0.5–1.5 mm in diameter after incubation for 2 days on NA at 30 °C. Good growth occurs on NA, R2A and TSA. Growth occurs at 4–37 °C (optimum, 25–30 °C) and pH 5.0–9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0). Growth occurs in the presence of 0–6% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 1%). Nitrate is reduced to nitrite. Aesculin hydrolysis and glucose fermentation is observed. Assimilates N-acetyl-d-glucosamine, d-arabinose, d-glucose, d-maltose, d-mannitol, d-mannose, citrate, gluconate and malate. Alkaline phosphatase, esterase (C4) (weak), esterase lipase (C8), leucine arylamidase, acid phosphatase, naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase, α-galactosidase, β-galactosidase, and N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase are present. Activity of β-glucosidase is variable depending on strains. Acid is produced from glycerol, l-arabinose, d-ribose, d-xylose, d-galactose, d-glucose, d-fructose, d-mannose, d-mannitol, sorbitol, N-acetylglucosamine, d-melibiose, sucrose, raffinose, gentibiose, d-arabitol, gluconate and 5-ketogluconate. Acid production from amygdalin, arbutin, D-maltose rhamnose and salicin is variable depending on strains. The major isoprenoid quinone is Q-8. The predominant fatty acids are C16:0, C17:0 cyclo, summed feature 3 (C16:1ω7c and/or C16:1ω6c) and C18:1ω7c. The polar lipids consist of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and an unidentified aminophospholipid. The G+C content of the genomic DNA is 51.3%.

Type strain SAP-1T (= KCTC 72959T = CCM 9078T) was isolated from tree sap drawn from Acer pictum in Mt. Halla in Jeju, Republic of Korea. The type strain does not produce acid from amygdalin, arbutin, d-maltose, rhamnose or salicin, and possesses β-glucosidase activity. The DDBJ/ENA/GenBank accession numbers of the 16S rRNA gene and genome sequences for strain SAP-1T are MN737199 and JAADJU010000000, respectively.
