In the original article, Oostlander et al. (2020) was not cited in the article. The citation has now been inserted in Materials and Methods, Culture Analysis, Growth Phase and should read:

Optical density was measured at 750nm (OD_750nm) in a spectrophotometer (DR 5000, HACH, USA), from which biomass concentration (C_x) was calculated according to Oostlander et al. (2020). Cell volume was measured in Coulter Counter (Multisizer 3, Beckman Coulter, USA) in the size range 7-14 μm. The growth rate (μ) was calculated when the PBR was running in turbidostat mode as the dilution rate (D) according to equation 1, where V_H is the harvested volume in a Δt period of time and V_R the reactor volume. The biomass production rate (r_x) for the turbidostat mode was calculated from the growth rate and the biomass concentration (C_x, equation 2).

$\begin{array}{ll}\mu =D=\frac{\frac{V_H}{\Delta t}}{V_R}& (1)\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{ll}{r}_x=\mu \times C_x& (2)\end{array}$
