Abstract: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 performed to investigate and characterize the 2-MIB odor producers that caused an odor problem in the freshwater system of the North Han River in the autumn of 2018. A benthic cyanobacterium was isolated from 2-MIB odor-issue freshwater samples and was found t… Show more
“…has been notably identified as a significant odor-causing alga in rivers and lakes globally 9 and particularly in Asia. 10–12 In 2019, Pseudanabaena sp. was detected in Lake Y.…”
The sudden occurrence of odor in drinking water is one of the significant challenges for drinking water utilities. The concentrations of 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB)-producing cyanobacteria, Pseudanabaena sp., can be a surrogate...
