There was a technical error in the calculation of yeast cell concentrations from cell numbers in the original publication [1].
Text Correction
We have now made corrections throughout the whole manuscript including abstract, methods (Sections 2.2.1, 2.3 and 2.4), results and discussion (Sections 3.3, 3.5 and 3.6) and conclusion.
In abstract: we modified the sentence “We also determined the effect of different numbers of yeast cells inoculation (varying from 1 × 106 to 1 × 1012 cells/mL) and successive inoculation on fermentation and end-product formation. The yeast inoculation method and number of cells significantly affected the fermentation time.” to “We also determined the effect of different numbers of yeast cells inoculation (varying from 1 × 106 to 1 × 109 cells/mL) and successive inoculation on fermentation and end-product formation. The yeast inoculation method and different inoculation levels significantly affected the fermentation time”.
In Section 2.2.1: we changed “cell numbers” to “cell concentrations”.
In Section 2.3: we changed “1 × 1012” to “1 × 109”.
In Section 2.4: we changed the sentence “namely 1 × 108 (n = 3), 1 × 1010 (n = 3) and 1 × 1012 (n = 3) in the must” to “namely 1 × 107 (n = 3), 1 × 108 (n = 3) and 1 × 109 (n = 3) in the must”.
In Section 3: we changed “yeast cell numbers” to “yeast inoculum size” in the first paragraph.
In Section 3.3: We changed “cell numbers” to “cell concentrations”. We changed the sentence “we also investigated if inoculated yeast cell numbers had any impact on the metabolite composition of the resulting wines” to “we also investigated if different inoculation size had any impact on the metabolite composition of the resulting wines”. We also changed this sentence “while other ferments were inoculated with higher cells numbers ranging from 108 to 1012 cells/mL” to “while other ferments were inoculated with higher concentration of cells ranging from 107 to 109 cells/mL”.
In Section 3.5: We changed all “cell numbers” to “cell concentrations”. We changed “cell numbers used as inoculum” to “cells used as inoculum” in the first paragraph, and changed “while cell numbers should also be considered” to “while inoculum size should also be considered” in the second paragraph.
In Section 3.6: we changed “cell numbers” to “cell concentrations” in the first paragraph.
In Conclusions: we changed the sentence “we provided some insights on how differences in inoculated cell numbers also affect the production of different classes of aroma compounds” to “we provided some insights on how differences in inoculum size also affect the production of different classes of aroma compounds”.
Error in Figure and Legend
We have updated Figures 1 and 4–6 by correcting the cell concentrations: 1 × 108 to 1 × 107, 1 × 1010 to 1 × 108 and 1 × 1012 to 1 × 109. We changed “cell numbers” to “cell concentrations” in the caption of Figure 4. The corrected figures appear below.

Error in Table
Similarly, we also updated Tables 1, 2 and S1 by correcting the cell concentrations: 1 × 108 to 1 × 107, 1 × 1010 to 1 × 108 and 1 × 1012 to 11 × 109. In Table 1, the title of the second column was changed from “Inoculated Yeast Cells” to “Inoculated Yeast Cells (cells/mL)” and, also in the footnote, we corrected “cell numbers” to “cell concentrations”. In Table 2, the title of the second column was changed from “No of Inoculated Yeast Cells” to “Inoculated Yeast Cells (cells/mL)” and, also in the footnote, we corrected “cell numbers” to “cell concentration”. In Table S1, we also made the following corrections: 107 to 106, 109 to 107, 1011 to 108, The corrected tables appear below.
