Due to a calculation error, incorrect values of the DNA mol% G+C content were reported for type and other strains of some recently described species. The correct mol% G+C values (±SD, n=number of observations) are:

Desulfonatronum thiodismutans MLF1^T, 59.0±0.1 mol% (n=6; Pikuta et al., 2003b);

Roseovarius nubinhibens ISM^T, 62.2±0.2 mol% (n=4; González et al., 2003);

Silicibacter pomeroyi DSS-3^T, 64.1±0.1 mol% (n=3; González et al., 2003), and Silicibacter pomeroyi DSS-10, 64.3±0.1 mol% (n=6; González et al., 2003);

Spirochaeta americana ASpG1^T, 54.2±0.2 mol% (n=4; Hoover et al., 2003);

Thermosediminibacter oceani JW/IW-1228P^T, 46.3±0.7 mol% (n=4; Lee et al., 2005);

Thermosediminibacter litoriperuensis JW/YJL-1230-7/2^T, 45.2±0.7 mol% (n=6; Lee et al., 2005);

Tindallia californiensis APO^T, 40.2±0.1 mol% (n=3; Pikuta et al., 2003a).
