Unfortunately, the references in the following sentence in the introduction were incorrect.

“De Souza et al. [9, 10] have described rapid (seconds) quenching of Leishmania cultures to 0 °C using a dry ice–ethanol bath. They reported that this method quenches metabolism of Leishmania reliably and reproducibly.”

The citations [9, 10] should be replaced by the following 2 references:

De Souza DP, Saunders EC, McConville MJ, and Likic VA (2006) Bioinformatics 22:1391–1396. (reference [36] of the manuscript)

Saunders EC, De Souza DP, Naderer T, Sernee MF, Ralton JE, Doyle MA, MacRae JI, Chambers JL, Heng J, Nahid A, Likic VA, and McConville MJ (2010) Parasitology 137:1303–13 (reference not listed in the manuscript)

Furthermore, we should like to make the following acknowledgement:

We are grateful to Prof. Malcolm McConville and his team at the Bio21 Institute at the University of Melbourne for their advice and guidance regarding the Leishmania metabolome extraction protocol.
