The present invention relates to a screening method of an antimicrobial agent that can control microbes which cause odor in an air conditioner, and a method for removing odor in an air conditioner. Odor-causing microbes in the air conditioner of the present invention can be used in the development of a novel antimicrobial agent or in the development of an odorant for blocking the odor by investigating the chemical properties of metabolites of the microbes. In addition, by creating an environment, in advance, where the microbes cannot inhabit the air conditioner, the present invention has diverse industrial utility in being used for fundamentally removing the cause of odor, and so on. |
