Abstract
On pages 2272 and 2273, the whole-cell sugars are given incorrectly as ribose, mannose, arabinose and glucose. The correct whole-cell sugars should be rhamnose, mannose, arabinose and galactose. In the description on page 2273, the feature of the spore chain is given incorrectly as a hook-like or flexuous manner. The correct feature of the spore chain should be a rectiflexible or straight.
