The Publisher has made the following corrections to this published article: i) Genbank text was displayed incorrectly and should read: The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA sequence of Acinetobacter variabilis sp. nov. NIPH 2171T is KP278590 ii) Reference text was displayed incorrectly and should read: Bouvet, P. J. M. & Jeanjean, S. (1989). Delineation of new proteolytic genomic species in the genus Acinetobacter. Res Microbiol 140, 291–299. iii) The following text was displayed incorrectly: “All strains grew on acetate, whereas no strains liquefied gelatin or grew on β-alanine, citraconate, D-gluconate, D-glucose, levulinate, trigonelline instead of putrescine” and should read: “All strains grew on acetate, whereas no strains liquefied gelatin or grew on β-alanine, citraconate, D-gluconate, D-glucose, levulinate, histamine, trigonelline or tryptamine”.
