Abstract
Bacterial volatile organic compounds (VOCs) represent a structurally very broad mixture of compounds, likely not less diverse than plant or animal volatiles. Within this diversity individual compounds might be commonly found in many, often unrelated strains, while others are restricted to a certain group of strains. In addition, strain specific compounds occur. In the following chapter we will describe the reason for this diversity, the use of different biosynthetic pathways for the production of bacterial VOCs. The use of the primary metabolism machinery, the fatty acid and polyketide biosynthetic pathways, the sulfur metabolism, pyrazine and aromatic compound formation, and terpene biosynthesis will be described and the formation of important representative compounds will be discussed.
