The authors wish to make the following changes to the published paper [1] as listed below.

In the original manuscript, Figure 4:

  1. Chemical structures for poly(cis-1,4-isoprene) were wrongly labelled and have been corrected as shown below.

  2. ß-oxidation should be replaced by oxiAB.

  3. oxiAB should be replaced by ß-oxidation.

Figure 4.

Figure 4

Schematic diagram representing the primary steps of poly(isoprene) biodegradation, followed by oxidization for aldehydes to the corresponding acids, which can be further metabolized via ß-oxidation. Abbreviations: lcp, latex clearing protein; oxiAB, isoquinoline 1-oxidoreductase subunit alpha and beta.
