A Correction on
Two new non-chlorophyll f-producing species in the Kovacikia genus (Leptolyngbyaceae, Leptolyngbyales) from the Poyang Lake Basin, China

by Shen, L.-Q., Dai, G., Le, Y., Lai, S., Liu, X., Li,R., and Liu, J. (2025). Front. Microbiol. 16:1578689. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2025.1578689

There was a mistake in Figure 2 as published. “Kovacikia diezihuensis ACCP0342” should be “Kovacikia diezihuensis ACCP0342” and “Kovacikia jiangxiensis ACCP0444” should be “Kovacikia jiangxiensis ACCP0444”.

The corrected figure appears below.

Figure 2
Phylogenetic tree diagram illustrating evolutionary relationships among various bacterial sequences. Key groups include Kovacikia, Pseudoepolythrixophagia, and Myxacoccus. Each branch is labeled with sequence identifiers and support values.

Figure 2. Bayesian phylogenetic tree based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences showing the relationships of Kovacikia diezihuensis ACCP0342 and Kovacikia jiangxiensis ACCP0444 (bold part) with their similar taxa. The nodes marked by black dots were genus horizontal, and the black square nodes were horizontal nodes of the Leplyngbyaceae family. Bootstrap values greater than 70% were given in front of the corresponding nodes for BI/ML/NJ phylogenetic analysis. The scale bar represents the rate of nucleotide substitutions per site.

There was a mistake in Figure 3 as published. The first two strains in each of the three sections were incorrectly labeled.

The corrected figure appears below.

Figure 3
Diagram showing three groups of RNA helices labeled as D1-D1′, Box-B, and V3. Each group contains multiple helical structures represented by sequences of circles linked by lines, depicting base pair interactions and loops. The helices are annotated with labels such as E. coli and S. aureus, indicating the source or type of RNA. Each group is separated by horizontal lines with their respective titles.
