This addendum is to clarify that the epithet for the species and the protologue of the manuscript have been corrected (previous epithet “ipsi”; current epithet “ipis”).

Therefore, the title should be stated as follows: “Genome Analysis and Genomic Comparison of the Novel Species Arthrobacter ipis Reveal Its Potential Protective Role in Its Bark Beetle Host”

And the protologue as follows:

Description of Arthrobacter ipis sp. nov.

Arthrobacter ipis (i'pis. N.L. gen. n. ipis of the bark beetle genus Ips).

Cells form cream, smooth and circular with entire margins colonies when grown for 3 days at 28 °C on TSA medium. Cells are able to grow at 12–37 °C with optimum at 28 °C, at pH 6.5–8.5 with optimum at 6.5–7.5 and in the presence of 0–4% but not at 5% (w/v) NaCl, with optimum at 0–1% (w/v) NaCl. Cells are short Gram-negative rods with 0.4 μm length and 0.1 μm width. Catalase positive and oxidase negative. In the API20E system, glucose fermentation/oxidation test was negative. Positive for aesculin hydrolysis, production of urease, gelatinase and β-galactosidase and for assimilation of D-mannose, D-mannitol, N-acetyl glucosamine and D-maltose; but negative for reduction of nitrates, glucose fermentation, production of indole and arginine dihydrolase and assimilation of D-glucose, L-arabinose, potassium gluconate, caprate, adipate, malate, trisodium citrate and phenylacetate. Enzyme activities were observed to be positive for alkaline phosphatase, esterase, esterase lipase, acid phosphatase, naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase, α-galactosidase, β-galactosidase, α-glucosidase, β-glucosidase, N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase and α-mannosidase, but negative for lipase, leucine arylamidase, valine arylamidase, cystine arylamidase, trypsin, α-chymotrypsin and a-fucosidase.

The type strain IA7^T (= CECT 30100^T = LMG 31782^T) was isolated from a bark beetle from the species Ips acuminatus in the Czech Republic. The G + C base composition was 66.0 mol%.
