The odor in raw water is one of the main sources of odor in drinking water. The occurrence of actinobacteria and their odor producing capacities in a reservoir in Shanghai were investigated. Gauze's medium and membrane filtration were used for actinobacteria isolation. Through combined methods of 16 S rRNA sequencing, colony and hyphae morphology, carbon source utilization,physiological and biochemical characteristics,40 strains of actinobacteria were identified from the reservoir. Results showed that there...
