In the original publication [], there was a mistake in Figure 3 as published. Due to the low resolution, the upper confidence intervals for the removal efficiency were not visible and the legends were pixelated, hindering interpretation of the results. The corrected Figure 3 appears below.
Figure 3.
Bacterial removal efficiency as a function of (a) the maximum and time-averaged shear stress; (b) the time during which the shear stress exceeded the critical values reported in Lange et al. [27] for cell damage and lysis; (c) the product of average shear stress and treatment time. The horizontal dashed lines represent the 95% confidence interval for the removal efficiency calculated from the confidence intervals for the Colilert Quanti-Tray 2000 assay. The color bars report the viscosity of the substrates.
The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused and state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
