Abstract We analyzed the formation of phytoplankton community and the occurences of odorus compound from benthic cyanobacteria in North, South Han-River, Paldang-Lake and Kyeongan-Stream sediments. Sediments were incubated in different water temperature. Akinetes were found (0~500 cells/g) with the highest number on sediment in Yangsoo railroad bridge (YC). The result showed that Anabaena ranged between 0.02~0.53×103 cells/mL in Sambong (SB), YC, Mukhyen-Stream (MS), Paldang-Lake (P2) and Kyeongan-Stream (KK). The total 68 taxa of phytoplankton were observed during the incubation period. A standing crop of phytoplankton was in the range of 0.13~8.97×103 cells/mL and Microcystis appeared in SB, YC, P2 and KK sites with 20~25°C temperature. In South Han-River (P3), Oscillatoria tenuis was dominant at 25°C temperature. The concentration of geosmin was the highest in SB-15°C (25.5 ng/L), and the concentration of 2-MIB was the highest in P3-25°C (286.8 ng/L). Odorous compounds were detected in all the temperature conditions from each site. Our results indicate that the dominant benthic cyanobacteria (O. tenuis, O. limosa, Phormidium tenue and Pseudanabaena limnetica) have high correlation with the occurrence odorous compounds and 2-MIB.
