a

Metabolite levels in infected cultures are expressed relative to levels in control cultures at 480 min. Elevated metabolites ((+); fold change ⩾1.5) and depressed metabolites ((−); fold change ⩽0.67).

b

Not detected in intact cells, detected in filtrates only.

c

Metabolite was not detected in control cultures, and therefore 1000 was used to denote a large increase in concentration in the infected cells.

d

Metabolites are indistinguishable with the applied method.
