VOC production in the fungal reactor based on platinum catalyst VOC conversion to CO2 during experiment 3 corrected for dilution. Phase lines match the phases in Fig. 2. The bars represent PTR-MS measurements of ethanol (grey), terpenes (white), acetaldehyde (black) and methanol (slash pattern). The product areas are proportional to the relative percentage of carbon detected of each compound. The height of the bars represents the recovery ratio (shown on the right axis), which is the ratio of carbon detected by PTR-MS to carbon detected by the CO2 detector. A recovery ratio of one represents an equal amount of carbon detected
