Abstract
Since 2009, 2-methylisoborneol: MIB, a kind of musty-odor substance, have been detected in the upper reaches of the Tama River with the MIB concentration reaching 87 ng·L-1 in 2011. An MIB-producing cyanobacterium was considered by microscopic observation to belong to the genus Phormidium(we use conventional botanical name in this report. The same applies hereafter.), which propagates on the surface of riverbed stones. However, it was difficult to identify it at the species level morphologically. Therefore, we tried to determine its species by genetic analysis. We performed PCR amplification of the region of the cyanobacterial16S rRNA gene and ITS(base length: approximately 2000 base pairs). From the result, the MIB-producing cyanobacterium was estimated as Phormidium autumnale. It was concluded that this MIB-producing Phormidium sp. has existed in the Tama River since at least 2005.
