A corrigendum on
Current State of Knowledge in Microbial Degradation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs): A Review
by Ghosal, D., Ghosh, S., Dutta, T. K., and Ahn, Y. (2016). Front. Microbiol. 7:1369. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2016.01369
Due to an inadvertent error, Louvado et al. (2015) was noted cited in the footnotes of Table 1. The corrected Table 1 along with the footnote appears below. The authors apologize for this error. This does not affect the scientific conclusions of the article in any way.
TABLE 1
Table 1. Physical-chemical properties and some relevant information of 16 PAHs enlisted as priority pollutants by US EPA.
