volatile compounds such as heptadecane (57%), MIB (29.4%), and benzaldehyde
(1.2%) from unialgal continuous cultures of the cyanobacterium Oscillatoria per-
ornata . In other environments, many other species of blue-green algae (Tabachek
and Yurkowski 1976; Izaguirre et al. 1982; Taylor et al. 2006) and also actinomycetes
(Sivonen 1982; Scholler et al. 2002) have been reported to produce MIB. Some of
