Corrigendum to: ISME Communicationshttps://doi.org/10.1038/s43705-022-00201-9, published online 16 December 2022
In the original version of the paper (page 12-13), the authors described the bacterial name Vulcanimicrobium alpinus (sic) gen. nov. sp. nov. along with higher-rank taxonomic names: the family (Baltobacteraceae), order (Baltobacterales), class (Eremiobacteriia), and phylum (Eremiobacterota). Vulcanimicrobium alpinum corrig. Yabe et al. 2023 was subsequently validated with a correction to the species name by Oren and Göker [1]. However, as the higher-rank taxonomic names and the nomenclatural type of a class contravene Rules 8, 9, and 15 of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes [2], these names could not be validated. Therefore, the authors here provide the replacement names and protologues, Vulcanimicrobiaceae fam. nov., Vulcanimicrobiales ord. nov., Vulcanimicrobiia class. nov., and Vulcanimicrobiota phyl. nov. with following taxonomic descriptions.
Furthermore, in the Introduction of the original paper (page 1, right column, line 4), the authors inadvertently included Actinomycetota, which includes known photosynthetic lineages. However, the correct classification should have been Acidobacteriota.
The authors apologize for any confusion caused.
Description of Vulcanimicrobiaceae fam. nov.
(Vul.ca.ni.mi.cro.bi.a.ce’ae. N.L. neut. n. Vulcanimicrobium, a bacterial genus; -aceae, ending to denote a family; N.L. fem. pl. n. Vulcanimicrobiaceae, the Vulcanimicrobium family).
Not validly published synonym: “Candidatus Baltobacteraceae” [3, 4].
The description is the same as for the genus Vulcanimicrobium. Type genus is Vulcanimicrobium Yabe et al. 2023.
Description of Vulcanimicrobiales ord. nov.
(Vul.ca.ni.mi.cro.bi.a’les. N.L. neut. n. Vulcanimicrobium, a bacterial genus; -ales, ending to denote an order; N.L. fem. pl. n. Vulcanimicrobiales, the Vulcanimicrobium order).
Not validly published synonym: “Candidatus Baltobacterales” [3, 4].
The description is the same as for the genus Vulcanimicrobium. Type genus is Vulcanimicrobium.
Description of Vulcanimicrobiia class. nov.
(Vul.ca.ni.mi.cro.bi’i.a. N.L. neut. n. Vulcanimicrobium, a bacterial genus; -ia, ending to denote a class; N.L. pl. neut. n. Vulcaniimicrobiia, the Vulcanimicrobium class).
Not validly published synonyms: “Candidatus Eremiobacteriia”, “Candidatus Eremiobacteria” [3, 5, 6].
The description is the same as for the genus Vulcanimicrobium. Type order is Vulcanimicrobiales.
Description of Vulcanimicrobiota phyl. nov.
(Vul.ca.ni.mi.cro.bi.o’ta. N.L. neut. n. Vulcanimicrobium, a bacterial genus; -ota, ending to denote a phylum; N.L. pl. neut. n. Vulcaniimicrobiota, the Vulcanimicrobium phylum).
Not validly published synonyms: “Candidatus Eremiobacteraeota”, “Candidatus Eremiobacterota” [3, 5–7].
The description is the same as for the genus Vulcanimicrobium. Type genus is Vulcanimicrobium.
