Corrigendum to “Thaumasiovibrio occultus gen. nov. sp. nov. and Thaumasiovibrio subtropicus sp. nov. within the family Vibrionaceae, isolated from coral reef seawater off Ishigaki Island, Japan” [Syst. Appl. Microbiol. 40 (5) (2017) 290–296](S0723202017300607)(10.1016/j.syapm.2017.04.003))

On page 295, information of type species of Thaumasiovibrio gen. nov. is removed. The abbreviated genus name was spelled out. Corrected description is follows; Description of Thaumasiovibrio gen. nov. (Thau.ma.si.o.vi'bri.o. Gr. adj. thaumasios, unusual, unique; N.L. masc. n. vibrio, a motile bacterium; N.L. masc. n. Thaumasiovibrio, an unusual bacterium): Bacteria are Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, motile rods. Sodium ions are essential for growth. No endospores are formed. The single polar flagella is observed when cultivated on solidified and/or liquid media. No swarming is observed. Green colonies are observed on TCBS. Growth in 1%–3% NaCl broth. Negative for lysine decarboxylase, arginine dihydrolase and ornithine decarboxylase. Catalase, acetoin and indole productions are negative. Susceptible to the vibriostatic agent O/129 (150 μg/disc). Isolated from the seawater off Ishigaki coral reef. The DNA G + C content is 47.2–49.4%. The range of estimated genome sizes based on draft genome sequencing is 4.5 Mb–5.4 Mb. The type species is Thaumasiovibrio occultus. The Digital Protologue taxonumber is GA00017. Description of Thaumasiovibrio occultus sp. nov. (oc.cul'tus. L. adj. occultus, hidden; referring to resistant to the discovery of the species in the diverse active coral reef ecosystem): Cells are 1.0–1.2 μm long and 0.7–0.8 μm in width when grown on ZoBell 2216E agar. Colonies on ZoBell 2216E agar are beige, circular, smooth and convex with a diameter of 2 mm after culture for 3 days. Mesophilic and neutrophilic chemo-organotroph that grows at 15–30 °C. No bioluminescence is observed, and there is no requirement for organic growth factors. Oxidase positive. Produces acid from glucose without gas production, and hydrolyses Tween 80, gelatin, DNA; assimilates D-mannose, D-fructose, fumarate, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, citrate, glycerol, DL-malate, acetate, D-glucosamine, pyruvate, L-glutamate, glycerate, DL-lactate, L-alanine, and L-asparagine. No pigmentation is observed; does not hydrolyze starch, alginate, agar, and κ-carrageenan; does not reduce nitrate. Does not assimilate D-galactose, sucrose, maltose, melibiose, lactose, D-gluconate, succinate, aconitate, meso-erythritol, D-mannitol, γ-aminobutyrate, D-sorbitol, α-ketoglutarate, xylose, trehalose, glucuronate, δ-aminovalate, cellobiose, L-proline, putrescine, propionate, amygdalin, D-galacturonate, D-raffinose, rhamnose, D-ribose, salicin, L-arginine, L-citrulline, glycine, histidine, L-ornithine, and L-serine. The DNA G + C content is 49.4%, and the estimated genome size is 4.5 Mb. The type strain is Thaumasiovibrio occultus DSM 101554^T = JCM 31629^T = C4II189^T. The Digital Protologue taxonumber is TA00038. Description of Thaumasiovibrio subtropicus sp. nov. (sub.tro'pi.cus. N.L. adj. subtropicus, subtropical, referring to the isolation site of the Ishigaki coral reef): Cells are 1.9–2.0 μm long and 0.9–1.0 μm in width when grown on ZoBell 2216E agar. Colonies on ZoBell 2216E agar are beige, circular, smooth and convex, with a diameter of 3 mm after culture for 3 days. Mesophilic and neutrophilic chemo-organotroph that grows at 15–37 °C. No bioluminescence is observed, and there is no requirement for organic growth factors. Produces soluble brown pigments; acid from glucose without gas production, hydrolyses Tween 80, gelatin, DNA; reduces nitrate; assimilates D-mannose, D-fructose, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, fumarate, citrate, D-mannitol, D-sorbitol, DL-malate, glucuronate, acetate, D-glucosamine, pyruvate, cellobiose, L-proline, L-glutamate, propionate, glycerate, DL-lactate, L-alanine, L-asparagine, histidine, and L-serine. Does not hydrolyze starch, alginate, agar, and κ-carrageenan; capable of reducing nitrate. Oxidase negative. Does not assimilate D-galactose, sucrose, maltose, melibiose, lactose, D-gluconate, succinate, aconitate, meso-erythritol, glycerol, γ-aminobutyrate, α-ketoglutarate, xylose, trehalose, δ-aminovalate, putrescine, amygdalin, D-galacturonate, D-raffinose, rhamnose, D-ribose, salicin, L-arginine, L-citrulline, glycine, and L-ornithine. The DNA G + C content is 47.2%, and the estimated genome size is 5.4 Mb. The type strain is Thaumasiovibrio subtropicus DSM 101555^T = JCM 31630^T = C4V358^T.
