The article entitled “Modeling the effects of biomass accumulation on the performance of a biotrickling filter packed with PUF support for the alkaline biotreatment of dimethyl disulfide vapors in air”.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol (2015) 99:97–107. DOI 10.1007/s00253-014-5929-7.

In the mathematical model section, page 100, equation number 7, should be

$$ \frac{\partial {\mathrm{C}}_{\mathrm{B}}}{\partial \mathrm{t}}={\mathrm{D}}_{\mathrm{eff}}\frac{\partial^2{\mathrm{C}}_{\mathrm{B}}}{\partial {\mathrm{x}}^2}\hbox{-} {\mathrm{R}}_{\mathrm{B}} $$

Published version of the article contains a typographical error in equation 7 where the term δ-2 was included by mistake. In any case this error was not present in the mathematical simulation.
