Abstract: Microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) consist of a variety of compounds (mainly alcohols, ketones, terpenes, esters, aldehydes, sulphur and nitrogen compounds) formed as side-products in the primary and secondary metabolism of fungi and bacteria. More than 200 compounds have been identified as MVOCs in laboratory experiments, but none can be regarded as exclusively of microbial origin or specific for certain microbial species. Thus, these compounds also have many other, often much stronge... more
Mikrobiella flyktiga organiska ämnen (MVOC) består av en mängd olika ämnen (huvudsakligen alkoholer, ketoner, terpener, estrar, aldehyder, svavel- och kväveföreningar) som bildas som biprodukter vid svampars och bakteriers primära och sekundära metabolism. Över 200 ämnen har identifierats som MVOC vid laboratorieförsök, men inga av dessa kan anses ha enbart mikrobiellt ursprung eller vara specifika för en speciell mikroorganism eftersom MVOC har andra, ofta mycket mer betydelsefulla källor i mil... more
