| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In recent years, the occurrence of musty odor originated from microorganisms in freshwater environments has been reported in all over the world. In this study, we studied that what kind of environmental factors influence to musty odor production by actinomycetes and how to change musty odor production when the environmental factor has changed. As a result, the difference of wavelength and intensity of visible light, and dissolved oxygen concentration and its variation affected musty odor production by actinomycetes. Also, we found that the musty odor-degrading microbes existed in the biofilm of a practical biological water treatment plant throughout the year, and the musty odor degradation rate changed throughout a year, indicating that musty odor degradation rates were greatly affected by water temperature. Moreover, although the musty odor degradation rate was inhibited at lower temperatures, it can be recovered at appropriate water temperature.
