Explore the role of microbial volatile organic compounds

Explore the role of microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) in chemical communication and signaling within microbial communities. Discuss how MVOCs mediate inter- and intra-species interactions, including communication, competition, and defense mechanisms. Investigate the potential applications of MVOCs as diagnostic markers for microbial identification, environmental monitoring, and disease detection. Consider the ecological and biomedical implications of MVOCs in shaping microbial community dynamics, host-microbiome interactions, and human health outcomes.
