In the Conclusions, the type strain of the species Spiribacter onubensis is incorrect.

As a result, under the subheading ‘Description of Spiribacter onubensis sp. nov.’,

“Spiribacter onubensis (o.nu.ben’sis. N.L. masc. ad. onubensis, originating from Onuba, the Roman name of Huelva, the province where the type strain was isolated).

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-endospore-forming, non-motile curved rods of 0.2–0.3 × 1.0–1.8 μm. Colonies are circular, regular, white to pink pigmented and 0.5 to 1.0 mm in diameter on R2A medium supplemented with 15% (w/v) NaCl after 10 days of incubation at 37 °C. Moderately halophilic, growing at 5 to 20% (w/v) NaCl, with optimal growth at 7.5% (w/v) NaCl. No growth occurs in the absence of NaCl. Growth at 28 to 40 °C, showing optimal growth at 37 °C, and at pH values over the range of 7.0 to 10.0, with optimal growth occurring at pH 7.5 to 8.0. Growth is not observed under anaerobic conditions. Catalase and oxidase positive. It was not able to reduce nitrate to nitrite. Negative for methyl red and for Voges-Proskauer test. Simmons’ citrate and phosphatase tests are negative. Aesculin, casein, gelatin, Tween 80 and starch are not hydrolyzed but urea is. Indole is not produced. Acid is not produced from D-glucose and other carbohydrates. It is able to utilize pyruvate as carbon and energy sources; however, the following compounds are not utilized as sole sources of carbon and energy or as sole sources of carbon, nitrogen and energy, when assayed by the conventional methods: D-fructose, D-glucose, lactose, maltose, mannitol, D-melibiose, D-melezitose, L-raffinose, sucrose, butyrate, citrate, formate, valerate, alanine, cysteine, glutamine, glycine, lysine, phenylalanine and threonine. The major fatty acids are C16:0, C18:1 ω7c and/or C18:1 ω6c, and C19:0 cyclo ω8c. The genome of the type strain has an approximate size of 2.1 Mb and the DNA G + C content of the type strain is 65.1 mol%.

The type strain, ag22IC4-221T (= CCM 9385T = CECT 30947T), was isolated from a saltern in Isla Cristina, Huelva (Southwest Spain). The accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence is PP391734 and that of the genome sequence JBAKFI000000000.

Strain ag22IC4-227 is an additional strain of this species. The accession number for its 16S rRNA gene sequence is PP401652 and that for its genome sequence is JBAKFJ000000000.”
