) studied the VOC released by cyanobacteria. I think that the most sensitive and easy way to investigate and compare volatiles among samples, in every matrix of study, is solid phase micro extraction coupled to gas chromatogray /mass spectrometry. Considering the target compounds I suggest to use the metodoly we described in
