In the abstract of the article, the family ‘Candidatus Poseidonaceae’ is misspelled. The proper spelling is ‘Candidatus Poseidoniaceae’.

In the introduction, the citations for the original discovery of marine planktonic Archaea were presented in the incorrect order. We have now corrected the first sentence in the abstract to:

“Following the original discovery of marine planktonic Archaea [1, 2], members of this domain are now known to be ubiquitous and abundant in the marine environment [3].”

The corrected order of the citations is:

1. Fuhrman JA, McCallum K, Davis AA. Novel major archaebacterial group from marine plankton. Nature. 1992;356:148–9. (March 1992)

2. DeLong EF. Archaea in coastal marine environments. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 1992;89:5685–9. (June 1992)

We have now also added a note about a preprint of a separate analysis of MGII that became available while this manuscript was in review:

“Note: while this paper was under review, a preprint of a separate analysis of MGII became available [65], which has since been published [66].”

The funding sources have been omitted from the acknowledgements section of the manuscript. The corrected acknowledgements are as follows:
