Gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric study of the degradation of phenolic compounds in wastewater olive oil by Azotobacter Chroococcum.

Compounds present in wastewater olive oil (WWOO) which can be used in metabolic pathways of Azotobacter chroococcum (A. chroococcum) have been investigated. Some compounds such as syringic acid, p-coumaric acid and syringaldehyde do not favour microorganism growing up.
