Abstract

Correction for ‘A genomics perspective on natural product biosynthesis in plant pathogenic bacteria’ by Florian Baldeweg et al., Nat. Prod. Rep., 2019, 36, 307–325.


The authors regret that, upon further examination, the statement within the article that the genome of the R. solanacearum type strain K60 is devoid of staphyloferrin B biosynthesis genes is incorrect. It was wrongly inferred from an incomplete genome sequence of this strain (GenBank assembly accession: GCA_000285815.1) and not from the sequence reported in ref. 61 (GenBank assembly accession: NCTK00000000). An analysis of the complete genome sequence of strain K60 leads to a revision of Table 3.

The corrected version of Table 3 is shown below:

Table 3 Distribution of biosynthetic loci in R. solanacearum strains and related bacteria: BDB, blood disease bacterium; RALSY, R. syzygii; abbreviations for biosynthetic loci: sbn, staphyloferrin B; hdf, HRP-dependent factor; ral, ralfuranone; ybt, yersiniabactin; mic, micacocidin; rmy, ralsolamycin; rhi, rhizoxin

Furthermore, within the seventh paragraph of Section 3. Ralstonia solanacearum, the sentences “An inspection of Table 3 shows that, with a single exception, all R. solanacearum strains possess the genetic prerequisites for the production of 1. Only the genome of the R. solanacearum type strain K60 is devoid of staphyloferrin B biosynthesis genes.61” are incorrect and the corrected version of this text is “An inspection of Table 3 shows that all R. solanacearum strains possess the genetic prerequisites for the production of 1, including the type strain K60.61”.

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
