Abstract

Correction for ‘An in vitro screening method for probiotics with antidepressant-like effect using the enterochromaffin cell model’ by Peijin Tian et al., Food Funct., 2021, 12, 646–655, https://doi.org/10.1039/D0FO02307H.


The authors regret that there was an error in one of the primer pairs reported in the article. The correct primers should be: TCCTTGACAGTAGCAGTATG, GTAACACGAAGACGAGAGT.

Consequently the sentence on page 647 beginning “The following primer pairs…” should be correctly given as “The following primer pairs were used: Tph1 (F-5′- TCCTTGACAGTAGCAGTATG -3′, R-3′- GTAACACGAAGACGAGAGT -5′)…”.

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
