Musty odor production by actinomycetes is usually related to the presence of geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB), which are synthesized by enzymes encoded by the geoA and tpc genes, re-spectively. Streptomyces spp. strain S10, which was isolated from a water reservoir in Malaysia, has the ability...
