Figure 1.

Production profile of m/z 320.08. Blue line represents Vibrio culture without addition of L. longissimus mucus, whereas green line represents Vibrio culture to which autoclaved mucus has been added, and pink line represents the Vibrio culture with sterile filtered mucus added. An increase of the m/z 320.08 compound is seen over the first 50 (sterile filtered), 80 (autoclaved) and 100 (control) hours, respectively, followed by a decline. The analyte does not appear to originate from the mucus but is rather a product of the Vibrio culture or medium. These results originate from duplicate injections of single culture samples.
