The presence of the odorant 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) in drinking water sources is undesirable. Although 2-MIB production is known to be influenced by temperature, its regulation at the gene level and its relationship with Chlorophyll- (Chl-) at different temperatures remain unclear. This study investigates the impact of temperature on 2-MIB production and related gene expression in strains PD34 and PD35 isolated from Lake Paldang, South Korea. The strains were cultured at three temperatures (15, 25, and 30 °C) to examine cell growth, 2-MIB production, and gene expression levels. 2-MIB production per cell increased with higher temperatures, whereas gene expression levels were higher at lower temperatures, indicating a complex regulatory mechanism involving post-transcriptional and enzyme kinetics factors. Additionally, the relationship between Chl- and 2-MIB involved in metabolic competition was analyzed, suggesting that high temperatures appear to favor 2-MIB synthesis more than Chl- synthesis. The distinct difference in the total amount of the two products and the proportion of 2-MIB between the two strains partially explains the variations in 2-MIB production. These findings highlight the significant effect of temperature on 2-MIB biosynthesis in and provide a valuable background for gene data-based approaches to manage issues regarding 2-MIB in aquatic environments.

Terpenoids are the largest class of natural products, found across all domains of life. One of the most abundant bacterial terpenoids is the volatile odorant 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB), partially responsible for the earthy smell of soil and musty taste of contaminated water. Many bacterial 2-MIB biosynthetic gene clusters were thought to encode a conserved transcription factor, named EshA in the model soil bacterium Streptomyces griseus.

Article Synopsis
- Monitoring drinking water quality is essential for public health, especially due to taste and odor (T&O) issues that erode trust in water sources.
- The study focuses on geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB), compounds causing T&O problems, and their production dynamics in a mesotrophic lake, revealing correlations with environmental factors like temperature and depth.
- Key bacterial communities were identified through advanced techniques as both producers and degraders of these compounds, emphasizing their influence on T&O dynamics and overall water quality.

Due to climate change and environmental pollution, natural lakes and reservoir water suffer increasingly serious algal blooms and associated water quality problems due to the presence of algal or algogenic organic matter (AOM) such as algal odour and toxins. Effective removal of these micropollutants, especially in the event of algal blooms, is critical to aesthetic values of water bodies, drinking water security and human health. The study investigated the removal efficiency of two common odorous compounds, trans-1,10-dimethyl-trans-9-decalol (geosmin) and 2-Methylisoborneol (2-MIB), using foam fractionation enabled by air nanobubbles with addition of two common cationic and anionic surfactants, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), to enhance foaming ability and stability.

The proliferation of filamentous cyanobacteria in lakes can result in the generation of odor-causing compounds, predominantly 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB), which pose odor-related challenges. In an effort to elucidate the spatiotemporal dynamics of 2-MIB and related influencing factors in East Lake Taihu, monthly investigations were undertaken from April 2022 to March 2023. In addition to the monthly survey, a whole-lake survey was conducted during the high-temperature period from July to September.
