Upon publication of this article [1], it was brought to our attention that Figure 7 contained an error. (−)-α-bisabolol is shown in g/L and not mg/L as incorrectly presented in the original version of the article. The correct figure is given in this erratum (Fig. 7).

Fed-batch fermentation of E. coli DH5α in TB medium supplemented with 10 g/L of glycerol as initial carbon source. After complete depletion of glycerol, glycerol was fed at 3 g/L/h. Concentrations of acetate, mevalonate, and glycerol were determined by HPLC and (−)-α-bisabolol content was measured using GC. Canola oil 10% (v/v) instead of n-dodecane 20% (v/v) was used to overlay 30 L TB medium in a 50 L fermenter
