A corrigendum on
Stochastic Individual-Based Modeling of Bacterial Growth and Division Using Flow Cytometry

by García, M. R., Vázquez, J. A., Teixeira, I. G., and Alonso, A. A. (2018). Front. Microbiol. 8:2626. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2017.02626

1. There was a mistake in the writing of the cell growth term in Equation (2a) as published. The correct version appears below.

p(t,x)t=ξ222p(t,x)x2μp(t,x)xcell growth=J(t,x)x+2fXd(x)ZfXm(x)Zdivisionp(t,x)Znormalization    (1)

2. The same mistake is repeated in equation (A2a). The correct version appears below.

p(t,x)t=ξ222p(t,x)x2μp(t,x)xcell growth=J(t,x)x+4fXd(x)ZfXm(x)Zdivision3p(t,x)Znormalization  being    (2)

The authors apologize for these mistakes. This error does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way.

The original article has been updated.
