Identification of microorganisms using gas chromato-massspectrometry

Abstract

The review presents the basic information available in literature on the use of gas chromatography-massspectrometry. Issues concerning the significance of this method for the identification of microorganisms are discussed. The prospects of creating domestic software and databases of mass spectra of microorganisms are noted.
