Correction: Wholegenome microarray and gene deletion studies reveal regulation of the polyhydroxyalkanoate production cycle by the stringent response in Ralstonia eutropha H16 [Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 78, 22, (2012), (8033-8044)] DOI:10.1128/AEM.01693-12

Abstract

Follow-up studies of the Ralstonia eutropha strain originally named Re2411 resulted in a recharacterization of the relevant genotype of the strain. Based on these data we acquired, the strain Re2411 is genotypically the same as strain Re1034. Thus, results from the previous paper cannot be attributed to the stringent response, and our initial model of the stringent response has been significantly updated. More information on this subject may be found in a recent work by Jüngert et al. (Appl Environ Microbiol 83:e00755-17, 2017, https://doi.org/10.1128/AEM.00755-17), which describes the influence of SpoT1 and SpoT2 [and (p)ppGpp] on PHB accumulation and mobilization in R. eutropha.
