Summary

This is a correction notice for a previously published study on microplastic effects on marine rotifers (Brachionus plicatilis), fixing typographical errors in the laboratory method description for a gene expression analysis technique. The underlying science of the original paper — examining how microplastics affect reproduction in these small marine animals — is unchanged.

As a result, "Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was performed using 1 L of cDNA template, 0.5 L of forward and reverse primers (10 M), and 10 L of TB Green Premix Ex Taq (2 ) (Takara Bio Inc, Shiga, Japan), making a total volume of 20 L." now reads: "Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was performed using 1 g of cDNA template, 0.5 L of forward and reverse primers (100 M), and 10 L of TB Green Premix Ex Taq (2 ) (Takara Bio Inc, Shiga, Japan), making a total volume of 20 L."
