The concentrations of heptachlor and its metabolites were analyzed by a Shimadzu GC/MS2010 apparatus with a RTX-5MS from Shimadzu (30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 mm). The column temperature program was 80 °C isothermal for 5 min and then from 80 °C to 260 °C with an increment of 10 °C min−1. The MS energy was derived from a 70 eV electron ionization source of electron bombardment; ion source temperature was maintained at 200 °C; interface temperature was maintained at 260 °C; mass scan range was set at 40–450 m/z.
Samples were prepared in a 40 mL brown reagent bottle. A volume of 10 mL sample contained heptachlor and its metabolites obtained after the pretreatment of the bacterial cultures was placed into the reagent bottle, and then five milliliter n-hexane was added.12,13 The bottle was kept in a constant-temperature rotating shaker (HZQ-C, China) at 200 rpm for 20 min and then in ultrasonic waves at 28 kHz frequency for 10 min for heptachlor extraction. The extraction process was repeated three times. The organic fraction was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Finally, 1 μL of the dry organic sample that passed through an organic filter (hydrophobic PTFE) of 0.22 μm pore size was analyzed by GC/MS.

A system operating Shimadzu GCMS-QP2010 (Tokyo, Japan) was used with the following conditions: The column (RTX-5 MS) was used with specifications that were (30 m × 0.25 mm i.d. × 0.25 µm film thickness) (Restek Corporation, Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, USA). The starting temperature of the column was 45 °C for 2 min and then increased to 300 °C at a rate of 5 °C/min and kept steady for 5 min. The temperature of the injector was 250 °C. The flow rate of helium (carrier gas) was (1.41 mL/min). The following conditions were applied when recording the mass spectra: (equipment current) filament emission current, 60 mA; ionization voltage, 70 eV; ion source, 200 °C. Automatic injection of the essential oil was at (1 µL, 1% v/v) with a splitting ratio (1:15). The identification of volatile metabolites was performed upon comparing the mass spectra as well as the retention index with those of the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) chemistry webbook library. In addition, literature data was used to identify n-alkanes series by comparing their mass spectra and retention indices.

The chemical composition of essential oils was evaluated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS), using a Shimadzu QP-2010 plus system with the subsequent conditions: silica capillary column Rtx-5MS (30 m × 0.25 mm, film thickness 0.25 μm); programmed temperature (60–240) °C to 3 °C/min; injector temperature of 250 °C; helium as carrying gas (linear velocity of 32 cm/s, measured at 100 °C); and injection without division (1 μL of a hexane 2:1000 solution). The ionization was performed by the electron impact technique (70 eV), and the ion source temperature, along with the other parts, was fixed to 200 °C. The quantification of volatile compounds was determined by gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector (FID; Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan, system QP 2010) at the very same conditions as expressed for GC/MS, except for the carrying gas, which was hydrogen. The retention index was calculated for every volatile constituent eluting a homologous series of n-alkanes (C8–C40), and the spectra obtained experimentally were compared with literature, alongside the retention indexes [46 ,72 ,73 ].

The volatile compound compositions were analyzed using a GC-MS (Plus-2010, Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) equipped with a Rtx-5MS (30 m × 0.32 mm × 50 µm, Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) column. The carrier gas was 99.99% high-purity helium with a column flow rate of 1.37 mL/min. Sample injection was performed in splitless mode. The oven temperature was initially set at 40 °C, and was gradually increased to 300 °C at 5 °C/min with a final hold for 5 min. The mass spectrometry parameters included: Electron-impact ionization, 70 eV; ion source temperature, 230 °C; scan range, 40–500. The identification of each compound was performed using mass spectral libraries and Kovats retention indexes (RI). The GC-MS analysis detected volatile compounds in the rose mutants and those of the original cultivars, and compounds were tentatively identified based on a NIST library similarity index greater than 90%. The retention indices of all GC peaks were calculated with retention times of C7–C40 saturated alkane standards under the same chromatographic conditions. The RI of each compound on each column was calculated using the formula; y and z are carbon numbers of alkane standards, T(x) is the retention time of the compound, and n and n + 1 represent the retention times of the alkane standards.
