Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-65587-9, published online 22 May 2020
The original version of this Article contained errors.
In the Abstract,
“In this study, 16S RNA amplicon sequencing was used to reveal bacterial communities inhabiting the surfaces of red and green pepper (fungicides-treated and non-fungicides-treated) grown under hydroponic and open field conditions.”
now reads:
“In this study, 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing was used to reveal bacterial communities inhabiting the surfaces of red and green pepper (fungicides-treated and non-fungicides-treated) grown under hydroponic and open field conditions.”
In addition, in the Results and discussion section,
“The likely biocontrol mechanisms by these genera involve multifaceted interactions between the host, pathogen and the antagonists which include production of extracellular cell wall degrading enzymes, competition for space, nutrients and space, production of various plant hormones, mycoparasitsm, and production of volatile organic compounds36–38,41–44,46,55.”
now reads:

Finally, the Supplementary Information file contained an error in the legend of Supplementary Figure S3, where.
“Figure S3 BugBase OTU contribution phyla plots for phenotypic functions predictions; relative abundance plots of phyla predicting phenotypic functions between hydroponic and soil treated and untreated pepper samples. Contributing phyla”
now reads:
“Figure S3 BugBase OTU contribution phyla plots for phenotypic functions predictions; relative abundance plots of phyla predicting phenotypic functions between hydroponic and soil treated and untreated pepper samples.”
These errors have now been corrected in the PDF and HTML versions of the Article, and in the accompanying Supplementary Information file.
