Fig. 6: Volatile biomarkers identified for phylum, trophic mode, (non)symbiotic lifestyle, substrate-use, and host type.
From: Volatile organic compound patterns predict fungal trophic mode and lifestyle

The dashed line dividing the heatmap separates compounds detected by PTR-ToF-MS (upper part) and GC–MS (lower part) (a–e). The compounds are shown in descending order according to its importance from top for PTR-ToF-MS (upper part) and GC–MS (lower part), respectively. The color code refers to the emission intensity (data show z-scores). The letters refer to the compounds listed in Supplementary Tables S2 and S351. The schematic tree and soil scenario illustrate the natural plant–fungi interaction contexts; photo: J-P Schnitzler.
