Volume 74, no. 4, p. 1019-1029, 2008. Page 1019, Abstract, lines 9 to 11: “Since moderately acidophilic Acidobacteria species have the ability to oxidize Fe(II) and since Acidobacterium capsulatum reduced Fe oxides at pHs ranging from 2 to 5, this group appeared to be involved in the cycling of iron.” should read “Since Acidobacterium capsulatum reduced Fe oxides at pHs ranging from 2 to 5, Acidobacteria might be involved in the cycling of iron.”

Page 1025, column 2, lines 14 and 15: “some moderate acidophilic Acidobacterium spp. have been shown to oxidize Fe(II)” should read “a novel Acidobacterium species was isolated from ferruginous drainage water samples, using a ferrous-iron-containing overlay medium.”
