Abstract: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. Actinobacteria were detected in low concentration from December to February and this gradually increased in March and April. The number of actinobacteria detected was particularly high in April (63 CFU/mL), July (45 CFU/mL), and October (39 CFU/mL) due to the influence of rainfall. … Show more
