Abstract
This protocol describes screening of the actinobacterial isolates for the production of odorous metabolites by olfactory analysis, extraction and characterization of the odor compounds in potent Streptomyces spp. by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, and identification of the gene responsible for the odor production in Streptomyces spp. by PCR.
