  Degradation of Phenol, an Innovative Biological Approach

  By Atun Roy Choudhury, Arutchelvan V

  Abstract: A bacterial strain capable of utilizing phenol as a sole carbon source was isolated from the soil samples, collected at a vicinity of industrial wastewater treatment plant of phenol manufacturing unit. Based on the biochemical tests and 16S rRNA sequencing results the organism was identified as Serratia marcescens. The organism is capable of degrading the highly toxic phenolic compound to an optimum concentration of 2500 mgL-1 in 120 h at …
