Phenol and its derivatives are hazardous pollutants that are highly toxic even at low
concentrations. The management of wastewater containing high concentrations of phenols …

Aromatic compounds are widely distributed in nature and free phenols are frequently
liberated as metabolic intermediates during the degradation of plant materials. In recent …

The use of microbial catalysts in the biodegradation of organic compounds has advanced
significantly during the past three decades. It has been found that large numbers of microbes …

The effect of adaptation of mixed culture in the phenol biodegradation has been studied. The
degradation experiments have been conducted at different phenol concentrations from 0.5 …

Phenol biodegradation in a batch reactor was investigated using mixed cultures. Used
cultures were able to degrade initial phenol concentrations (S0) up to 1450mgl− 1. The …

Biodegradation of phenol by a mixed microbial culture, isolated from a sewage treatment
plant, was investigated in batch shake flasks. A minimum concentration of 100 and a …

Removal of aromatic compounds from alkaline and/or saline industrial wastewater is an
environmental concern for industry. In addition, aromatics may be accumulating in soda …

In present work, biodegradation of 4-Chlorophenol (4-CP) has been successfully achieved
using bacteria ie Bacillus subtilis (MF447841. 1), which was isolated from the wastewater of …

This article elucidates that strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa (IES-Ps-1) is a versatile toxic
organic compound degrader. With the degradation of malathion and cypermethrin (studied …

A phenol-degrading microorganism, Alcaligenes faecalis, was used to study the substrate
interactions during cell growth on phenol and m-cresol dual substrates. Both phenol and m …
