Correction to: The ISME Journal https://doi.org/10.1038/s41396-020-00791-z, published online 3 October 2020

We have recently become aware that the taxonomic names published in our article Tayler et al. ISME J 2021; 15:503–519 do not comply with standards set out by the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes (ICSP) as we used a “superscript U” instead of the term “Candidatus”. We followed the guidelines by Konstantinidis et al. (Uncultivated microbes in need of their own taxonomy. ISME J. 2017;11:2399–406) which suggested the use of “superscript U”, but I have been informed that the guidelines have not received widespread acceptance. The taxonomic names should be as summarised in the corrected Table S5 below:
