After publication of the original article [1], the following error was reported in the Results section of the Abstract: “antifungal activity against one yeast i.e. Aspergillus niger” should read: “antifungal activity against one fungus i.e. Aspergillus niger”. The authors would like to confirm all antifungal activity has been screened against fungi not yeast.

This error has been corrected in the original article [1].
