Bacterial Communities in Effluents Rich in Phenol and Their Potential in Bioremediation: Kinetic Modeling.

Phenol is used in the manufacturing process of phenolic resins from which residues remain that must be sent for confinement. For that reason, in this study, the wastewater of a resin factory was analyzed to isolate the bacteria present, identify them by molecular methods and finally evaluate their impact on bioremediation treatment. A total of 15 bacteria were isolated, of these, eight belong to the genus spp.
