Mislabeling in Figure 2.

Posted by michelou on 26 Jun 2013 at 03:40 GMT

The labels in Figure 2. appear to have been flipped. The current figure lists panel A as alphaproteobacteria, and panel B as gammaproteobacteria. However, the groups displayed in these panels do not correspond to those labels (SAR11 for example is listed as a gammaproteobacteria, rather than alpha).

The correct Figure 2. should have panel A labeled as gammaproteobacteria and panel B labeled as alphaproteobacteria.

Apologies for the confusion.
