2-Methylisoborneol (2-MIB) Excretion by Pseudanabaena yagii under Low Temperature [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2021 Outbreaks of 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) contamination in drinking water sources cause inconvenient odor issues in the water distribution system. In this study, microscopy-based isolation with physiological and molecular phylogenetic characterization were

Genes associated with 2-methylisoborneol biosynthesis in cyanobacteria: isolation, characterization, and expression in response to light. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The volatile microbial metabolite 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) is a root cause of taste and odor issues in freshwater. Although current evidence suggests that 2-MIB is not toxic, this compound degrades water quality and presents problems for water ...

Managing the Taste and Odor Compound 2-MIB in a River-Reservoir System, South Korea
Water, 2023 High concentrations of 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) were reported during winter in the Paldang reservoir and North Han River, South Korea. The causes of the unusual taste and odor problems in the regulated river-reservoir system were not understood ...

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 (

Distribution and characteristics of geosmin and 2-MIB-producing actinobacteria in the Han River, Korea [PDF]
Water Supply, 2020 Actinobacteria can be one of the causes of earthy and musty odors in drinking water. In this study, the distribution and odor producing ability of actinobacteria isolated in the Han River as a source of tap water were investigated.

Cavitands: capture of cycloalkyl derivatives and 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) in water
Supramolecular Chemistry, 2019 Cycloalkyl derivatives such as halides and alcohols are commonly encountered in chemical synthesis and in the environment, yet chemical methods for their sensing are limited. Here we develop a sensor – a deep cavitand – on a preparative scale.

Comparison between ozone and ferrate in oxidising geosmin and 2-MIB in water.
Water Science and Technology, 2007 Among the chemicals causing taste and odour (T&O) in drinking water, the most commonly identified and problematic ones are geosmin and 2-MIB (2-methylisoborneol). Since the reported odour thresholds of geosmin and 2-MIB are as low as 4 and 8.5 ng/L, respectively, they are not readily removed by conventional water treatment processes. In this study,
