Correction to: Scientific Reports 10.1038/s41598-021-99528-x, published online 07 October 2021

The original version of this Article contained errors.

The source of the Ideonella sakaiensis strain used in the study was incorrectly attributed.

As a result, in the Methods section, “Culture”

Ideonella sakaiensis was cultured as described previously4,13 with several modifications. Briefly, I. sakaiensis was pre-cultured in NITE Biological Resource Center (NBRC) 802 medium (1.0 w/v% polypeptone, 0.2 w/v% yeast extract, and 0.1 w/v% MgSO4) at 30 °C and harvested by centrifugation (5000×g, 5 min, 4 °C).”

now reads:

Additionally, in the Acknowledgements section

“We are grateful to Prof. Kohei Oda for the kind gift of I. sakaiensis. We thank Dr. Tsuyoshi Ando, Yumiko Kawakami, and Mari Nakagawa for research assistance.”
