New smells for old

David Jones

Nature, 1998, vol. 395, issue 6703, 643-643

Abstract: Each of us has a ‘personal ecology’ of skin bacteria that digest our sweat — in some cases, producing foul-smelling compounds. Daedalus plans to help the odorous by devising a consortium of bacteria for each sufferer that not only has sweet smelling by-products, but is able to displace the old culture. But the same technology might have more sinister uses for criminals and bureaucrats.
