  1. Italicized values: higher in the Low S/G poplar bioconversion; Italicized underlined values: higher in the High S/G poplar bioconversion
  2. Only metabolites released with greater than two-fold difference between the low and high S/G phenotypes are shown (with the exception of syringyl glycerol). Numerical labels for unidentified metabolites are denoted by retention time and key mass-to-charge (m/z) ratios
