Correction to: The ISME Journal (2015) 1677–1686; doi: 10.1038/ismej.2015.23; published online 20 February 2015

A wording error in a sentence in the abstract misrepresented a main finding of the research. The sentence should read:

Expression of the demethylation pathway was relatively greater during a high-DMSP-producing dinoflagellate bloom, and expression of the cleavage pathway was greater in the presence of a mixed diatom and dinoflagellate community.

The sentence has now been corrected.

The supplementary file published with the paper was missing figure legends. The correct file is now provided.
