AUTHOR CORRECTION
Vol. 7, no. 6, doi: 10.1128/mBio.01714-16, 2016. We report herein two referencing oversights in this article. We wish to emphasize here the important work by Ringlstetter (1), who first linked yigM to biotin transport in Escherichia coli. Our article overlooked the discovery of yigM as the coding gene for biotin transporter. Overlooked also was the work of Finkenwirth et al. (2), who created a ΔyigM ΔbioH deletion mutant (E. coli) and characterized biotin transporters from various organisms. These corrections do not impact the integrity of the data presented, nor are the dominant conclusions of the study altered.
