We investigated the relation between the presence of geosmin in water and the bacterialcommunity structure within the granular activated carbon (GAC) system of water treatmentplants in South Korea. GAC samples were collected in May and August of 2014 at three watertreatment plants (Sungnam, Koyang, and Yeoncho in Korea). Dissolved organic carbon andgeosmin were analyzed before and after GAC treatment. Geosmin was found in raw waterfrom Sungnam and Koyang water treatment plants but not in that from Yeoncho watertreatment plant. Interestingly, but not surprisingly, the 16S rRNA clone library indicated thatthe bacterial communities from the Sungnam and Koyang GAC systems were closely relatedto geosmin-degrading bacteria. Based on the phylogenetic tree and multidimensional scalingplot, bacterial clones from GAC under the influence of geosmin were clustered with Variovoraxparadoxus strain DB 9b and Comamonas sp. DB mg. In other words, the presence of geosmin inwater might have inevitably contributed to the growth of geosmin degraders within therespective GAC system. |
