PLANT BIOLOGY Correction for “Impaired respiration discloses the physiological significance of state transitions in Chlamydomonas,” by Pierre Cardol, Jean Alric, Jacqueline Girard-Bascou, Fabrice Franck, Francis-André Wollman, and Giovanni Finazzi, which was first published September 1, 2009; 10.1073/pnas.0908111106 (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 106:15979–15984).
The authors wish to note the following: “In the original Fig. 1A, there had been a mistake while assembling the image. Wrong spots have been selected to illustrate similar growth of the WT and stt7-9 mutant strains in minimal (‘Min’) medium. This error led to duplicating the spot corresponding the growth of WT in presence of the respiration inhibitor myxothiazol (‘Min + M’). As seen in the new Fig. 1A, this mistake in mounting the figure does not change the results nor the conclusion, i.e., stt7-9 mutant impaired in state transitions hardly grow when its respiratory activity is prevented by addition of myxothiazol, an inhibitor of the respiratory chain.
“Additionally, two mistakes occurred in the final assembly of Fig. S1: spot A7 (Min plate) and H8 (TAP plate) have been duplicated as spot F5 (TAP plate) and spot F5 (Min plate), respectively. The original data are no longer available to update the image. This mistake in mounting the figure does not change the conclusion of this work, i.e., all double mutants dum22 stt7-9 (including F5) have a severe phenotype and hardly grow.”
The corrected Fig. 1 and its legend appear below. The online version has been corrected.
