P.7 right column bottom paragraph: "Notably, [investigators'] new estimate is 3–4 times lower than widely used previous estimates for marine sediments of 65 fg C/cell (primary source Parkes et al., 1994) and 86 fg C/cell (primary source Whitman et al., 1998) and 6 times lower than the carbon content of cells sorted from an E. coli culture (Braun et al., 2016, Figure 4), which was analyzed in the same way as the samples from this study." fg C=10^-15grams Carbon |
