Cell envelope architecture in the Chloroflexi: a shifting frontline in a phylogenetic turf war

Abstract

In the article ‘Cell envelope architecture in the Chloroflexi: a shifting frontline in a phylogenetic turf war’ (Sutcliffe, 2011), on the second page, second column, second paragraph, it reads: In addition to this, it is notable that the genome sequence of T. roseum encodes a flagella apparatus of the ‘Gram-positive’ (monoderm) type that lacks the L-ring and P-ring components (Wu et al., 2009), as does the genome of Roseiflexus RS1 (I.C. Sutcliffe, unpubl. obs.). It should read: In addition to this, it is notable that the genome sequence of T. roseum encodes a flagella apparatus of the ‘Gram-positive’ (monoderm) type that lacks the L-ring and P-ring components (Wu et al., 2009), as does the genome of Sphaerobacter thermophilus (I.C. Sutcliffe, unpubl. obs.). The author apologizes for this error.
