Sixty-One Volatiles Have Phylogenetic Signals Across Bacterial Domain and Fungal Kingdom.

ABSTRACT: Microorganisms are diverse in their genome sequences and subsequently in their encoded metabolic pathways, which enabled them to adapt to numerous environmental conditions. They produce thousands of small molecules, many of which are volatiles in nature and play important roles in signaling in intra- and inter-species to kingdom and domain interactions, survival, or virulence. Many of these compounds have been studied, characterized, and organized in the mVOC 2.0 database. However, such dataset has not been investigated comprehensively in terms of its phylogeny to determine key volatile markers for certain taxa. It was hypothesized that some of the volatiles described in the mVOC 2.0 database could function as a phylogenetic signal since their production is conserved among certain taxa wit
