Geosmin is one of the major T&O compounds which are produced as secondary metabolites by members of actinobacteria and cyanobacteria1). In water treatment process, activated carbon system has attracted great attention due to its effective removal of geosmin2). Nonetheless, the presence of natural organic material (NOM) has negative effect on the elimination process by competing with geosmin for adsorption sites3). In addition, the formation of bacterial biofilm on surface of the activated carbon also decreases its effectiveness in adsorbing geosmin. In order to overcome these challenges, a thorough understanding of the formation and growth of microbial community in the activated carbon system is necessary. |
