  1. Conc concentration, C# carbon number, TW this work, P2023 = ref. 41, G2010 = ref. 42, BDL below detection limit, BQL below quantitation limit,—means no results were reported and * indicates the data was reinvestigated and the result was included here, but not published in the previous study. Amino acids with a (α) are alpha amino acids, while amino acids with an α or β at the start of their name are alpha or beta amino acids, respectively.
