Headspace analysis of
Candida sp. SDCP2 supernatant was performed at Small Molecules Mass Spectrometry Facility (Faculty of Arts and Sciences Harvard University) using an Agilent 6890 gas chromatograph and CTC CombiPAL autosampler. A DB-624UI column (30m x 0.32mm x 1.80um) was used, at flow rate of 2.3 mL/min, injection temperature of 220°C, interface at 220°C, ion source of 200°C, and
m/z 10–500. Initial temperature was set at 30°C for 6 min, then increased at 10°C/min to 150°C, and then at 50°C/min to 250°C, and kept at 250°C for 15 min. The split ratio was 200 and headspace method adopted was 80°C for 10 min. The reads were compared to the NIST MS search 2.0 library.
Scaptotrigona depilis brood cells headspace analysis was performed at Research Support Center in Natural and Synthetic Products (NPPNS), University of São Paulo, using a Shimadzu
GC-2010 Plus gas chromatograph and the auto sampler
AOC 5000 with 2.5 mL syringe. A ZB-624 column (30m x 0.32mm x 1.80um) was used, at flow rate of 2.68 mL/min, injection temperature of 260°C, interface at 220°C, ion source of 200°C, and
m/z 10–200. Initial temperature was set at 30°C for 6 min, then increased at 10°C/min to 150°C, and then at 50°C/min to 250°C, and kept at 250°C for 15 min. The split ratio was 5 and headspace method adopted was 80°C for 45 min. The reads were compared to the NIST 11 library.
