		Biodegradable organic compounds in Yodo River water, the coagulated water and those ozonated waters were characterized on the concentration of assimilable organic carbon (AOC), the apparent molecular size and the sensitivity to E260 (UV absorbance at the wavelength of 260 nm).
		The AOC concentration in Yodo River was reduced by coagulation because the phosphorus concentration sharply decreased.
		Furthermore, batch incubations of native bacteria living in the Yodo River were conducted in order to examine the validity of the apparent AOC concentration as an indicator of the regrowth potential.
