We would like to respond to Theodore White's letter ("Is the Human Microbiome too Bacteriocentric?, Microbe, December 2009, p. 536) on the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) Human Microbiome Project (HMP).

In the letter "Original Articles Versus Press Reports" in the January 2010 Microbe, p. 1, the letter misquotes the Forum in the October 2009 Microbe, p. 440, as ‘The authors "seized on extremophiles, giving the impression that such microbes have been discovered recently."' The October Forum stated, ‘Thus, NASA's publicity machine has seized on "extremophiles," giving the impression that such microbes have been discovered recently. . .' Microbe regrets the error. |
