Following publication, the authors contacted our office stating that the integrity of the experimental data had been compromised by a flaw in the methodology; specifically, the sequence signal for the organism under study was overwhelmed by sequences from other organisms found to be present in the bulk cultures. Given the unreliability of the data, the authors have requested the retraction of this paper.
This retraction was approved by the Chief Editors of Frontiers in Marine Science and the Chief Executive Editor of Frontiers. The authors agree to this retraction.
