Following publication of the original article [1], the authors have flagged that an incorrect version of Fig. 4b has been published.

Fig. 4

a The CRM A production titer on different media (Additional file 1: Table S1); 1–7 represent the Medium 1–Medium 7 (Additional file 1: Table S1); N1 represents the Medium N1 and N2 represents the Medium N2 (Additional file 1: Table S2); b Pareto chart displays the standardized effects of each variable and indicates three most significant factors of medium N2 for improving the CRM A production titer. The bars of the diagram that go beyond the vertical dashed line (95% confidence level) correspond to the statistically significant standardized effects

In the published version, the vertical dashed line is incorrectly positioned and the dummy variables are erroneously omitted from the y-axis.

To correct the version provided in the published article, please find (the corrected version of) Fig. 4b in this correction.

The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused.
