Heterologous expression of mtf and mtc genes of Pseudanabaena foetida var. intermedia is sufficient to produce 2-methylisoborneol in Escherichia coli

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Microbial volatile metabolite 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) causes odor and taste issues in drinking water, making it unappealing for human consumption. It has been suggested that 2-MIB biosynthesis consists of two main steps, namely, methylation of geranyl

Inflammatory Tumor Microenvironment in Cranial Meningiomas: Clinical Implications and Intraindividual Reproducibility

Diagnostics, 2022
The MIB-1 index was demonstrated to be significantly correlated to meningioma recurrence. However, to date, the relationship of the intraindividual course of the MIB-1 index and the growth fraction, respectively, to clinical tumor recurrence has not been

Potential sources and producers of 2-methylisoborneol and geosmin in a river supplying a drinking water treatment plant

Chemical Engineering Journal Advances, 2023
Lakes and rivers are important sources of potable water in many countries, but taste-and-odour compounds (T&O) such as geosmin (GSM) and 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) may affect the aesthetic water quality and require high-cost treatment.

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 ...

Development of a Quantification and Detection Method for 2-MIB-producing Cyanobacteria

Turkish Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2022
Consumers often complain about taste and odor (T&O) in drinking water and freshwater fishery. One of the common T&O compounds, 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB), can be detected by humans even when the concentration is below 10 ng/L. A forecast method of T&O occurrence is required to control drinking water plants and fishery farms to determine the

Producers and drivers of odor compounds in a large drinking-water source

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
IntroductionTaste and odor (T&O) problems have been affecting drinking water safety. As a eutrophicated drinking water reservoir in Tianjin city, the Yuqiao Reservoir was threatened by 2-MIB and geosmin in recent years.MethodsIn this study, quantile ...
