P.6750 right column bottom paragraph: "E. coli K12, a well-known laboratory strain, showed the lowest filterability (passage percentage below 0.2% for all the filters tested) among the six bacterial species investigated, although it is not the biggest organism in terms of biovolume (0.47μm^3) (Table 1). A similar filterability as for E. coli was observed for V. cholerae (0.11μm^3) and L. pneumophila (0.58μm^3) (Table 1)." |
