The authors wish to make the following corrections to this paper [1]:
After the publication of the manuscript, the authors recognized that one reference in the discussion session (in the main text) was wrong and should be replaced with a new one. The changes are provided below.

Changes in Discussion

Furthermore, Potts et al. [58] in a recent work reported differences in hydrocarbons removal between shallow and deep sediment consortia (50–58% and 33–42%, respectively), highlighting the role of consortium origin.

Change in the Reference

  • 58. Potts, L.D.; Calderon, L.J.P.; Gontikaki, E.; Keith, L.; Gubry-Rangin, C.; Anderson, J.; Witte, U. Effect of spatial origin and hydrocarbon composition on bacterial consortia community structure and hydrocarbon biodegradation rates. FEMS Microbiol. Ecol. 2018, 94, 127.
The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused and state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. The original publication has also been updated.
