Method P.1 right column bottom paragraph to p.2 left column top paragraph: "3. Results and Discussion: [6] [Investigators] optimized a method combining flow cytometric sorting and stable isotope tracer protocols (FLOW-SIP) for use in the oligotrophic Sargasso Sea (see auxiliary material Text S1 for further details). The benefit of FLOW-SIP is that it permits the incubation of complete pelagic communities, allowing the determination of taxon-specific nutrient assimilation rates and thereby directly quantifies the biogeochemical ecology of the target population [Li, 1994 Zubkov et al., 2003]. Moreover, the accuracy of measured assimilation rates for stable isotopes is significantly enhanced by the exclusion of bacterial populations and detrital nitrogen [Lipschultz, 1995]. [They] employed this technique to study nitrogen assimilation in natural Prochlorococcus assemblages collected from the Sargasso Sea deep chlorophyll maximum (Table 1)."
