Correction to: Pigmentibacter ruber gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel bacterium of the family Silvanigrellaceae isolated from human blood

A Gram-negative, aerobic, non-motile, pleomorphic, red-pigmented bacterium, designated HNSRY-1 T , was isolated from the blood sample of a near drowning patient in Republic of China. Strain HNSRY-1 T grew at 15–37 °C (optimum, 35 °C), with pH 6.0–8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and 0–1.5% (W/V) NaCl (optimum, 1%). The predominant fatty acids (> 5%) in HNSRY-1 T cells are iso-C 15:0 , C 17:0 , C 17:1 ω 8 c , C 16:0 , and C 16:1 ω 6 c /C 16:1 ω 7 c . The major respiratory quinone is MK-8. The polar lipids are phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, three unidentified lipids and four unidentified aminolipids. The 16S rRNA gene sequence-based phylogenetic analysis indicated that strain HNSRY-1 T belonged to the family Silvanigrellaceae , forming a distinct phylogenetic line distantly related (< 96.4% sequence similarity) to known species of the family. The ANI values of strain HNSRY-1 T compared to the closely related species were below the determined genus division threshold limit (92–94% ANI), and AAI values were lower than the determined genus division threshold limit (80% AAI). Whole genome sequencing revealed a genome size of 3.63 Mb with a DNA G + C content at 29.6%. The half-lethal dose of strain HNSRY-1 T on KM mice is about 1.12 × 10 8 CFU/ml. Virulence gene analysis showed that the pathogenicity of HNSRY-1 T may be related to tufA , htpB , katA , wbtL , wbtM , pseB , clpP , cheY , cheV3 , acpXL , pilB , fliN , ggt , flgG , fliP , nueB , pseA , bioB and flil . Based on these findings from the polyphasic taxonomy studies, a novel genus and species of the family Silvanigrellaceae . Pigmentibacter ruber gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed, with type strain HNSRY-1 T (= KCTC 72920 T = CGMCC 1.18525 T ).
