Three strains isolated by geosmin enrichment from a sand filter in an Australian drinking water treatment works were genome sequenced to identify their taxonomic placement, and a bench-scale batch experiment confirmed their geosmin-degrading capability. Using the average nucleotide identity based on the MUMmer algorithm (ANIm), pairwise digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH), and phylogenomic analyses, the strains were identified as Sphingopyxis species.
