Figure 13.

Combinations of inhibitory molecules identified in mass spectroscopy are not synergistic. Vial in jar method, as per Methods. One milliliter of 10 mM of each of the chemicals to be tested in DMSO or 1 mL DMSO alone (“Control”) were placed in the vials. Fungal growth area with the test chemicals was compared to the control (percentages). Two and one asterisks represent p < 0.01 and p < 0.05, respectively, compared to the control. a through h are, respectively, 2-heptanone, methyl thiobutyrate, 2-nonanone, 2-heptanone + methyl thiobutyrate, 2-heptanone + methyl thiobutyrate + 2-nonanone, combination of all the chemicals mentioned except 2-heptanone + methyl thiobutyrate, combination of all the chemicals except 2-heptanone + methyl thiobutyrate + 2-nonanone, and combination of all the chemicals mentioned combined.
