Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-20611-x, published online 02 February 2018

The original version of this Article contained errors in the Abstract.

“Results showed that extracts of two diatoms, Skeletonema tropicum and Chaetoceros pseudocurvisetus, had anti-tuberculosis activity and were active only when cultured in the control and phosphate-starvation conditions, while the nitrogen starvation condition showed no activity”.

now reads:

“Results showed that extracts of two diatoms, Skeletonema costatum and Chaetoceros pseudocurvisetus, had anti-tuberculosis activity and were active only when cultured in the control and phosphate-starvation conditions, while the nitrogen starvation condition showed no activity”.

These errors have now been corrected in the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
