In the originally published version of this manuscript there was an error made in writing the following culture collection accession numbers; CECT 30048, CECT 30350, and CECT 30120. A space was erroneously included after the first two digits in each case.
The three protologues have been corrected in the article and are also included below.
A change has also been made in the abstract. ‘Marseille-P-2854’ has been changed to ‘Marseille-Q2854’.
The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Description of Gulosibacter massiliensis sp. nov.
Gulosibacter massiliensis (mas.si.lien’ sis, L. fem. massiliensis from Massilia, the Latin name of Marseille, France, where the type strain was isolated). It is Gram-positive, motile, non-sporeforming, rod-shaped and aerobic bacterium, catalase-positive, and oxidase-negative. The cells have a mean length of 1.3 μm and a mean width of 0.5 μm. Positive reactions were observed with esterase, esterase lipase, leucine arylamidase and acid phosphatase, while negative reactions were observed with alkaline phosphatase, lipase, valine arylamidase, cystine arylamidase, trypsin, α-chymotrypsin, naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase, α-galactosidase, β-galactosidase, β-glucuronidase, α-and β-glucosidase, N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase, α-mannosidase, and α-fucosidase. It ferments esculin ferric citrate and D-trehalose. The most abundant fatty acids (>9%) were 12-methyl-tetradecanoic acid, 14-methyl-hexadecanoic acid and 14-methyl-pentadecanoic acid, while minor amounts of unsaturated and linear fatty acids were also detected. The genome is 2 075 628 bp long, with G + C content of 67.2 mol%. The 16S rRNA and genome sequences are available in GenBank under accession numbers LR031295 and UYZX01000001, respectively. The type strain Marseille-P7157T ( = CSUR P7157 = CECT 30048) was isolated from a human blood sample.
Description of Acinetobacter ihumii sp. nov.
Acinetobacter ihumii (i.hu.mi'i. N.L. gen. masc. n. ihumii, based on the acronym IHUMI, meaning Institut Hospitalo-Universitaire Méditerranée-Infection, the clinical lab where the type strain was isolated). It is an aerobic Gram-negative bacterium. Bacterial cells are motile, non-spore-forming and rod-shaped, with a mean length of 1.1 μm and width of 0.5 μm, catalase positive and oxidase negative. Enzymes such as esterase, esterase lipase, leucine arylamidase, and naphthol-ASBI-phosphohydrolase are present, while those such as alkaline phosphatase, lipase, valine arylamidase, cystine arylamidase, trypsin, α-chymotrypsin, acid phosphatase, α-galactosidase, βgalactosidase, β-glucuronidase, α-glucosidase, β-glucosidase, Nacetyl-β-glucosaminidase, α-mannosidase, and α-fucosidase are absent. Only esculin ferric citrate was positive among the carbohydrates tested. The most abundant fatty acids (>18%) were hexadecanoic acid, 9-octadecenoic acid, and dodecanoic acid. Two specific 3-hydroxy structures were also described. The genome is 3 299 805 bp long with G + C content of 40.5 mol%. The 16S rRNA and genome sequences are deposited in the GenBank database under accession numbers LR031292 and UYYC00000000, respectively. The strain Marseille-P8049T ( = CSUR P8049 = CECT 30350) was the type strain of Acinetobacter ihumii sp. nov., which was isolated from a human blood sample.
Description Microbacterium ihumii sp. nov.
Microbacterium ihumii (i.hu.mi'i. N.L. gen. masc. n. ihumii, based on the acronym IHUMI, meaning Institut Hospitalo-Universitaire Méditerranée-Infection, the clinical lab where the type strain was isolated). It is an aerobic Gram-positive bacterium. The cells are non-motile, non-spore-forming with a short rod-shape (mean length = 1.06 μm and mean width = 0.32 μm), catalase-positive, and oxidase negative. It possesses leucine arylamidase, trypsin, naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase and α-glucosidase. A positive reaction was obtained with esculin ferric citrate, but no reaction was observed with other carbohydrates and its derivatives (heterosides, polyalcohols, and uronic acids). In addition, the major fatty acids were branched C15:0 anteiso, C17:0 anteiso, and C16:0 iso. Minor amounts of unsaturated and linear fatty acids were also detected. The genome is 2 954 541 bp long and the G + C content is 68.5 mol%. The 16S rRNA and genome sequences are available in GenBank under accession numbers MZ089993 and CAHJXQ000000000, respectively. The type strain Marseille-Q2854T ( = CSUR Q2854 = CECT 30120) was isolated from a human blood sample.
