“…It is well known that odours in waters are caused by two major saturated bicyclic terpenoids, namely 2‐methlisoborneol (MIB) and geosmin (Gerber 1968, 1969; Kikuchi et al . 1973), which are produced by several species of cyanobacteria, including Oscillatoria , Lyngbya , Phormidium and Anabaena , as well as some genera of streptomyces , Nocardia and Micromonospora in aquatic environments (Gerber & Lechevalier 1965; Gerber 1967; Tabachek & Yurkowski 1976; Tsuchiya et al . 1978; Sugiura et al .…”

Odours in waters used for various purposes, especially musty odours, is a worldwide problem. To establish an early warning system, the nuisance odour in an aquatic environment, the causative microorganisms and compounds, and the mechanism of odour in Lake Kasumigaura, the second biggest lake in Japan, were examined using in situ studies. In this study, the mechanism for the occurrence of musty odours was determined, and the level of musty odour was discriminated, based on 32 months of phytoplankton data from three sampling stations. The results indicate that the cell numbers of Phormidium tenue , Synedra and Ankistrodesmus were significantly related to the occurrence of 2-methlisoborneol (MIB) and geosmin. Furthermore, the odour occurrence for both MIB and geosmin was effectively predicted and validated using environmental factors as explanatory variables, using multiple linear regression and artificial neural network technology.

“…They may be partly responsible for the earthy, musty and unpleasant odour and taste of some public water supplies (Tsuchiya et al 1981(Tsuchiya et al , 1982Kikuchi et al 1983;Tsuchiya and Matsumoto 1988). Other possible causes are volatiles such as geosmin or 2-phenyl ethanol produced by fungi (Kikuchi et al 1983), streptomycetes (Burnam 1973; Tsuchiya et al 1978;Tsuchiya et al 1980), or by free living amoebae such as Vannelku spp. (Hayes et al 1991).…”

“…They have been identified as the metabolites of a wide range of microorganisms including actinomycetes, (e.g. the members of Streptomyces, Nocardia and Actinomadura) (Gerber & Lechevalier, 1965;Gerber, 1967Gerber, , 1969, certain filamentous cyanobacteria (Safferman et al, 1967;Tabachek & Yurkowski, 1976;Tsuchiya et al, 1978), myxobacterium (Trowitzsch et al, 1981) and fungi (Lechevalier, 1974;Kikuchi etal., 1981) in aquatic environments. However, little is known about the factors responsible for the growth of these organisms.…”

Algae enhancing musty odor production by actinomycetes in Lake Kasumigaura

The effect of algae on the production of musty-smelling compounds by actinomycetes was studied. Streptomyces spp., causing intensive musty odor, were isolated from hypertrophic Lake Kasumigaura and cultured in association with algae from the same lake. Isolate E and I effectively utilized the cyanobacteria, Microcystis aeruginosa and Anabaena spiroides, and the diatom, Synedra acus, as a carbon source and produced a musty-smelling 2-methylisoborneol in the shaken sediment cultures. High populations of algae and actinomycetes, and aerobic condition in the sediment seem responsible for the occurrence of musty odor in Lake Kasumigaura.
