Volume 70, no. 4, p. 939-1031, 2006. Page 941, column 2, lines 5-9: It is incorrect that growth of Escherichia coli on fructose and a less favorable carbon source leads to diauxic growth. In fact, J. Monod (Recherches sur la Croissance des Cultures Bactériennes, 1942) reports that he observed biphasic growth of E. coli cells with glucose or mannitol as the "preferred" carbon source but not with fructose.
Page 954, column 2: The first paragraph of the "Diauxic Growth" section refers specifically to the diauxic growth of Bacillus subtilis, the first organism for which diauxie was described. Monod observed that for B. subtilis, fructose causes diauxic growth in combination with several "less favorable" carbon sources.
