title: Correction of the connecting vowel and gender of the specific epithet in the name Sphingomonas macrogoltabidus Takeuchi et al. 1993 to Sphingomonas macrogolitabida.
abstract: In accordance with the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision), the connecting vowel and gender of the specific epithet macrogoltabidus in combination with the generic name Sphingomonas must be -i- and the ending must be changed to -a to agree with the gender of the generic name, respectively. Thus Sphingomonas macroboltabidus Takeuchi et al. 1993 should be Sphingomonas macrogolitabida corrig. Takeuchi et al. 1993.
