Corrigendum: Physiology of Highly Radioresistant Escherichia coli After Experimental Evolution for 100 Cycles of Selection

In the original article, there was a mistake in Table 1 as published. Three rows in Table 1 were inadvertently labeled incorrectly. The rows are in the “Transversions” category as follows: GC to TA, AT to TA, and GC to CG. We have re-labeled these rows so that these data under each population heading now reflects the correct number of each mutation type (in order, these rows are now AT to TA, GC to CG, and GC to TA). The corrected Table 1 appears below.

Table 1.

Number and types of mutations in evolved populations after 100 cycles of selection.
