Correction to figure1

Volume 1 No. 3, p. 310, Figure 1 should appear as shown below (Figure 1). The mature cell shape has previously been described as teardrop- to pear-shaped, with the attachment pole slightly pointed [2]. Our paper showed a rod-shaped cell, which is not the correct morphology for this species.
