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.

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.

Geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol removal in drinking water treatment
Abstract Geosmin (GSM) and 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) are metabolites derived from cyanobacteria which produce taste and odor problems in drinking water treatment plants. Conventional treatment processes in water treatment are ineffective for the removal of 2-MIB/GSM.

Bacterial Degradation of 2-Methylisoborneol
2-Methylisoborneol (MIB) is a musty-odored compound occurring in natural waters that is difficult to remove by conventional water treatment methods. Biodegra-dation may be an alternative for its removal from drinking water. Studies were undertaken to determine the conditions enhancing MIB degradation and to isolate and identify the bacteria responsible.

Isolation, identification and odour-producing abilities of geosmin/2-MIB in actinomycetes from sediments in Lake Lotus, China [PDF]
This study aimed to determine whether actinomycetes could contribute to the odours occurring in Lake Lotus, China. In total, 55 actinomycete strains were isolated from sediments in Lake Lotus and their odorous metabolites, geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol (

Every day, more and more consumers choose to drink bottled water instead of tap water, since they believe that it is superior in quality. One of the criteria used by European consumers to choose bottled water is the geographical region of the spring. The

Cyanobacteria commonly form large blooms in waterbodies; they can produce cyanotoxins, with toxic effects on humans and animals, and volatile compounds, causing bad tastes and odors (T&O) at naturally occurring low concentrations.
