Management of Biesboch reservoirs for quality control with special reference to eutrophication [PDF]
, 1992 The three Biesbosch Reservoirs are pumped storage reservoirs, fed with rather polluted and highly eutrophic water from the River Meuse. Air injection at the bottom of the reservoirs prevents thermal stratification, which would otherwise result in serious

Endogenous Production of Geosmin in Table Beet [PDF]
HortScience, 2018 The earthy flavor of table beet is due to an aromatic terpene derivative called geosmin. It has been hypothesized that geosmin presence in beet is due to geosmin-producing bacteria such as Streptomyces spp. that exist in the soil. However, recent findings suggest that beet may produce geosmin endogenously without microbial influence.

Molecular bases of insect odorant receptor function: specificity and evolution
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are a class of chemoreceptors that insects use to detect volatile cues in their environment. In recent years, major advances in the field of structural biology have made it possible to obtain the first structures of insect ORs.

RSC Advances, 2022 The earthy odor of geosmin with a C12 skeleton is known from bacteria, fungi and plants. The sesquiterpenoid germacradien-11-ol (germacradienol) is a crucial intermediate in the biosynthesis of geosmin.

, 2020 Off-flavour described as ‘earthy-musty’ is commonly reported in fish raised in land-based aquaculture systems. Bioconcentration in fish of lipophilic geosmin produced by microbiota is regarded as the most important cause for this off-flavour. Despite that off-flavour in fish is an extensively studied and well documented problem, satisfactory solutions ...

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.The mechanism of pacifigorgiadiene synthase from Burkholderia gladioli was investigated through isotopic labeling experiments and DFT calculations. The results revealed an unexpected labeling pattern which appeared to be different in the main and the side products, requiring unprecedented mechanistic explanations, including a “break‐flip‐cyclise ...

Potentiometric E-Tongue System for Geosmin/Isoborneol Presence Monitoring in Drinkable Water
Sensors, 2020 A potentiometric E-tongue system based on low-selective polymeric membrane and chalcogenide-glass electrodes is employed to monitor the taste-and-odor-causing pollutants, geosmin (GE) and 2-methyl-isoborneol (MIB), in drinkable water.

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.

Why do food and drink smell like earth? [PDF]
, 2007 Fungi have long been associated with earthy odours. One of the main contributors to this odour is geosmin, a sesquiterpenoid metabolite produced by soil living fungi. Some food commodities are liable to contamination by geosmin producing fungi.
