Erratum: Phagotrophy by the picoeukaryotic green alga Micromonas: implications for Arctic Oceans

Correction to: The ISME Journal (2014) 8, 1953–1961; doi:10.1038/ismej.2014.16; published online 20 February 2014

Since the publication of this article, the authors have noticed that there is an error in the calculations of the per cell primary production rate which is presented in Figure 4, as well as in the associated Table 1 of the article.

Figure 4

P vs I curves for Micromonas CCMP2099 grown in high (open circles, full strength) or low (closed circles, 5 × dilution with ASW) f/2 media.

While the revised estimates of primary production do not affect the primary conclusions of the article, the earlier calculations do not reflect an accurate estimate of the primary production of single Micromonas cells.

The correct figure and table are shown below.

The Figure and the Table have also been corrected in the original article, which also appears in this issue. The html and online pdf versions have also been rectified, and now carry the correct paper.

The Authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.
