Influence of phytoplankton on the water quality of surface water sources and drinking water
RUDN Journal of Ecology and Life Safety, 2023 The problem of the appearance of odors in drinking water associated with the development of algae and cyanobacteria in reservoirs of drinking water sources is considered.

Estimating Operational Costs of Activated Carbon for Water Treatment Plants by Predicting the Rise of Harmful Algal Blooms Under Climate Change in Korea Using Machine Learning. [PDF]
Water Environ ResThis study investigated future operational costs in water treatment (WT) plants. Random forest modeling projected 3–5 times more abundant cyanobacteria by 2100 due to climate change. Increased microcystins demanded substantially more activated carbon and, as a result, WT costs could rise to $6–22/household/month.

Geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol removal in drinking water treatment
Water Practice and Technology, 2022 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
Water Science and Technology, 1988 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]
, 2009 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 (

Analytica, 2023 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

Microorganisms, 2023 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.
