摘要: Clostridia form a heterogeneous group of bacteria that are widespread in natural environments and have numerous metabolic properties (e.g., fermentation carbohydrates, amino acids, purines, pyrimidines, cellulolysis, pectinolysis, acetogenesis).1,2 Their various degradative explain their involvement the different aspects degradation organic matter. Many metabolites clostridia gaseous or volatile; since they present headspace above culture media, analysis can be performed directly by gas chromatography (GC). Headspace GC is rapid sensitive analytical method for detection trace volatile compounds complex mixtures. When combined with mass spectrometry (MS), chemical identification these volatiles possible.3–6
