Correction to: Curr Microbiol (2016) 73:618–623 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00284-016-1103-z

The original version of this article unfortunately contained a mistake in the provided KEMB accession number.

The corrected version is given below:

On page 618, the text, “Oceanisphaera as Oceanisphaera aquimarina sp. nov. (= KEMB 1002-058T = JCM 30794T)” should read as “Oceanisphaera as Oceanisphaera aquimarina sp. nov. (= KEMB 2255-028T = JCM 30794T)”, The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA sequence of strain S33T (= KEMB 2255-028T = JCM 30794T) is KR003110.

On page 622, the text, “The type strain, S33T (= KEMB 1002-058T = JCM 30794), was isolated from an oil-contaminated sands of the Tae-an coastal area of South Korea” should read as “The type strain, S33T (= KEMB 2255-028T = JCM 30794T), was isolated from an oil-contaminated sands of the Tae-an coastal area of South Korea”.
