Cadaverine

Comments

 
Picture
Rotting-flesh sickly-sweet smelling compound produced from amino acid lysine by microbes such as E. coli, Shewanella putrefaciens, Vibrio spp., and Morganella morganii.  Also known as  1,5-pentanediamine and pentamethylenediamine. 
Cadaverine is one of the best-characterized chemicals responsible for the "smell of death" (from decomposing, putrefying body) 
repelling most animals. Cadaverine levels are also associated with oral malodor, independently of the level of Volatile Sulfur Compounds.
