P.80 left column 2nd paragraph: "Motile marine bacteria have a modified swimming behaviour from that of Brown and Berg's E. coli random walk model [ref 2]. Typically, marine bacteria swim at much higher speeds, up to 400 μm s^−1[primary sources 11,12], than E. coli with maximum speeds of only 40 μm s^−1[primary source 13]." |
