Abstract

A survey of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) excreted from various Gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas spp., Serratia spp. and Enterobacter spp.) was carried out. Compounds were identified by gas chromatographymass spectrometry. VOCs identified included dimethyl disulphide, dimethyl trisulphide and isoprene.
