The present invention relates to a composition for preventing odors, and to a method for preventing odors which includes coating the composition on an evaporator core. The composition for preventing odors includes microorganisms including Methylobacterium or a culture thereof, and a medium component, wherein the Methylobacterium is one or more of Methylobacterium komagatae, Methylocaterium aquaticum, Methylobacterium brachiatum and Methylobacterium platani. By coating and proliferating the microorganisms contained in the composition on the evaporator core, a biofilm rnay be formed whereby odors may effectively be prevented by reducing inflow and inhabitation of outside microorganisms that generate offensive odors. |
