Enhanced Benzaldehyde Tolerance in Zymomonas mobilis Biofilms and the Potential of Biofilm Applications in Fine-Chemical Production

Volume 72, no. 2, p. 1639-1644, 2006. There was a minor error in the calculation of volumetric productivity. Page 1641, column 2, line 35: “10 mM h⁻¹ or 25.9 g liter⁻¹ day⁻¹” should read “8.1 mM h⁻¹ or 21 g liter⁻¹ day⁻¹ (based on the packed bed void volume).” The derived value for specific productivity should change from 8.11 g (g biomass)⁻¹ day⁻¹ to 6.6 g (g biomass)⁻¹ day⁻¹ (page 1639, line 16; page 1641, column 2, line 37; page 1643, column 2, line 3). Accordingly on page 1643, column 1, line 19, the statement “were more than twofold higher” should change to “were higher.” Page 1643, Table 1: the value for (S)-styrene oxide specific productivity should be 5.5. These changes do not alter the overall results or any conclusion of the study.
