Motivation:
Overall, the peer review helped to improve the manuscript, although mainly through the addition of pre-planned experiments rather than the immediate requests made by some of the reviewers. Additionally, while the editorial staff was quick in getting back to our queries, an initial deadline of 10 days for the first revision seemed very unreasonable given that they also requested further experiments which needed the cultivation of new specimens for at least 14 days. The set-out deadlines seemed even more unreasonable as the third (and last) review report has been forwarded two days after the start of the original revision process.
