Abstract
Abstract The musty odor producing microorganisms, the musty odor compounds and several environmental factors relating to the musty odor occurrence in Lake Kasumigaura were determined. When the musty odor occurred in the water of Tsuchiurairi site in October 1984, 2‐methylisoborneol was detected in the sediment with high actinomycete numbers. Moreover, a remarkable increase of carbohydrate was found in the sediment. Musty odor producing potential of sediment using actinomycetes was very high at the odor occurrence. It seemed that the investigation of actinomycete numbers and carbohydrate content in the sediment was important for the prognostication of the musty odor occurrence in Lake Kasumigaura.
