Identification and Control of Odorous Algal Metabolites

Abstract

Identifies producers of taste and odor compounds. Also determines the stages of the algae's life cycle that are principal for the production and release of the taste and odor compounds, and identifies treatment alternatives that can alleviate the biological contribution to taste and odor problems. Published in 1996.
