Following publication of the original article [1], the authors reported an error in the sentence "It should be noted that no Marinosulfonomonas sp. seemed able to utilize CH4, suggesting strains with different metabolic pathways than the ones described by Holmes et al. [74], putatively constrained by their association with animal hosts" and would like to replace it by the following one " It should be noted that no Marinosulfonomonas MAGs seemed able to utilize methanesulfonic acid (Additional File 11), suggesting strains with different metabolic pathways than the ones described by Holmes et al. [74], putatively constrained by their association with animal hosts".

The authors apologize for any confusion this may have caused to the readers of the Microbiome Journal.
