The smells, pleasant or annoying, They have the power to evoke memories. How does the delicate aroma arise?, to moss and wet earth, that perfumes the rainy days? And the light fragrance of the sea, butter or coffee? What creates the stinking stench of sweaty armpits?, foul breath or rotten fish? What microbiota colonizes our armpit?? Do mosquitoes bite those who smell better??
In this talk, the doctor in Microbiology Raul Rivas will tell us about the microorganisms related to odors. It will reveal which bacterial species transform molecules secreted by our skin and convert them into very odorous volatile organic compounds.. Will not forget our oral cavity: What bacteria live in it?? But not all microorganisms produce bad odors.. He will also tell us about the genus 'Streptomyces' and wet earth, or what microbial activity produces the fragrance of the seashore.
