In the original article, there was an error.
Mutants in amyE::PaprE-gfp were constructed by transforming O8G57 genomic DNA (Veening et al., 2008) into appropriate PS-216 strains.
A correction has been made to Materials and methods, Strain Construction:
Mutants with PaprE-gfp were constructed by transforming O8G57 genomic DNA (Veening et al., 2008) into appropriate PS-216 strains.
In the original article, there was a mistake in Table 1, Figure 1, Figure 3, Figure S2, Figure S5, and Figure S7 as published. The genotypic trait Papre-gfp of the strains BM1142, BM1144, BM1443 and BM1448 was incorrectly stated as being amyE::PaprE-gfp.
The authors apologize for these errors and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way.
The original article has been updated.
