In the Introduction,


“Studies on different hypersaline environments show that Haloquadratum and certain Balneolaeota members may preferably grow in aquatic or soil habitats, respectively, while hanohaloarchaea, nanohaloarchaea, and Salinibacter are capable of adapting to both environments3.”


now reads:

In addition, in the Results and discussion section, under the subheading ‘Genus Salinibacter’,


“Our results are in agreement with those of Gonzálezó and Gabaldón32, who reported a highly variable accessory genome in Salinibacter ruber and highlighted the impacts of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and homologous recombination (HR) processes32.”


now reads:
