Abstract
Microorganisms have enormous potential to remove toxic organic compounds present in waste
water due to its potential to metabolize these molecules. The presence of phenol and its
derivatives is increasing in water resources due to its extensive applications. Microorganisms
have been widely utilized to reduce the level of phenol in waste water. Different bacterial and
fungal strains have been successfully studied to reduce the level of phenol in water. Both aerobic
and anaerobic degradation of phenol is reported.
