Table 1 Overall number of MFs in different sample types for each sponge species. MFs were included after application of blank subtraction and data filtering. Differentially abundant molecular features (DAMs) detected from the LC-MS/MS analysis were obtained from subsets belonging to each sponge species, while those detected from the CG-MS analysis were obtained across all species (marked with an asterisk) (see below in the “Shared or differential abundant metabolites” section)
