Products of Melaleuca alternifolia terpene synthases. The enzymes were expressed in E. coli, extracted, and incubated with the substrate GPP. Terpene products were extracted with SPME and analyzed by GC-MS on a EC5-column (a) or a AT-35-column (b). The products were: 1: α-thujene, 2: α-pinene, 3: sabinene, 4: β-pinene, 5: myrcene, 6: α-phellandrene, 7: α-terpinene 8: limonene, 9: 1,8-cineole, 10: γ-terpinene, 11: (E)-sabinene hydrate, 12: terpinolene, 13: (Z)-sabinene hydrate, 14: α-terpineol, 15: geraniol (substrate artifact), 16: geranial (substrate artifact), x: silica contamination
