Off-Flavors in Aquacultured Fish: Origins and Implications for Consumers
Off-flavors in fish and water are considered a worldwide problem. Several factors, such as the presence of phosphorus, micronutrients, and organic matter, contribute to phytoplankton proliferation and the production of off-flavors.

Homoterpene Biosynthesis in Fungi. [PDF]
The first homoterpene biosynthetic pathway in the fungal kingdom is reported. A methyltransferase–terpene cyclase pair produces a unique heptamethyl bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane homoterpene via presodorifen, demonstrating that homoterpene biosynthesis via the addition of a C1 unit to terpene diphosphate precursors prior to scaffold formation extends beyond the

Influence of Temperature Regimes on the Production of 2-MIB and Geosmin by Pseudanabaena galeata and Phormidium ambiguum. [PDF]
Two cyanobacteria species Pseudanabaena galeata and Phormidium ambiguum were exposed to 20°C, 30°C, and 40°C for a 10‐day period, and samples were taken every other day for a 10‐day period. Both species showed significant changes in odor compound production at different temperature regimes.

Drinking water treatment plants (DWTP) use chlorination as an oxidation stage in the first step of the processes used to eliminate the natural organic matter (NOM) responsible for the formation of 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) and Geosmin (GM), which ...

Ultrasonically induced degradation of 2-methylisoborneol and geosmin. [PDF]
2-Methylisoborneol (MIB) and geosmin (GSM) are taste and odor compounds produced by cyanobacteria in surface waters. While the strong odors and musty flavors of MIB and GSM are generally associated with poor water quality, the removal of these semi-volatile compounds presents a significant challenge to drinking water providers. Likewise in aquaculture,

THE FIRST REPORT OF GEOSMIN AND 2-METHYLISOBORNEOL PRODUCER CYANOBACTERIA FROM TURKISH FRESHWATERS
Water users consider the safety of water according to its aesthetic properties, primarily taste and odour. Geosmin (GEO) and 2-methylisoborneol (MIB) are the most common taste and odour compounds in freshwaters which cause an earthy and musty odour in ...

Degradation of 2-Methylisoborneol by Aquatic Bacteria [PDF]
2-Methylisoborneol (MIB) is a musty- or muddy-smelling compound which occurs in some natural waters and which is difficult to remove by conventional water treatment methods. Bacterial degradation of MIB was examined in batch culture experiments.

Incubation of 2-methylisoborneol synthase with the intermediate analog 2-methylneryl diphosphate. [PDF]
Incubation of synthetic 2-methylneryl diphosphate (2-MeNPP, 10) with 2-methylisoborneol synthase (MIBS) gave a mixture of products that differed significantly from that derived from the natural substrate (E)-2-methylgeranyl diphosphate (3, 2-MeGPP). The proportion of (-)-2-methylisoborneol (1) decreased from 89 to 17% while that of 2-methylenebornane ...

Diversity of the Potential 2-Methylisoborneol-Producing Genotypes in Thai Strains of Planktothricoides (Cyanobacteria) [PDF]
The genus Planktothricoides Suda & Watanabe is considered as a 2-methylisoborneol (MIB) producer, affecting water quality and aquatic animal products worldwide. To date, there is limited information about the diversity of this genus from Thailand.

A Simple Alternative Method for Preservation of 2-Methylisoborneol in Water Samples. [PDF]
2-Methylisoborneol (2-MIB) is one of the most commonly observed taste and odor (T&O) compounds present in drinking water sources. As it is biodegradable, a preservation agent, typically mercury chloride, is needed if the water is not analyzed right after sampling.
