  1. Only metabolites for which a putative compound identification or compound class assignment could be determined are presented. RI: Experimentally-determined retention index; DA: Differential abundance (average compound abundance in CPE cultures divided by average compound abundance in non-CPE cultures); ALC: alcohol; ALD: aldehyde; BEN: benzene-derivative; CH: hydrocarbon; EST: ester; HET: heterocycle; KET: ketone; S-C: sulfur-containing; †Retention indices less than 600 not extrapolated; —: Match score not provided for compounds without putative identifications; ***Not detected in non-CPE cultures. Bolded feature ranks indicate that the metabolite was included amongst the top 20% most highly discriminatory metabolites for that algorithm.
