ABSTRACT

By use of various trapping systems, as well as lead acetate papers, Streptomyces odorifer was shown to produce hydrogen sulfide. Other sulfur-containing compounds may be produced by S. odorifer, but the amounts obtained were too small for detailed analysis. It was suggested that hydrogen sulfide might be a part of the earthy-odor complex produced by S. odorifer.
