The potential of using low cost naturally available biogenic substrates for biological removal of chlorophenol.

This study details the application of naturally available biogenic substrates (NABS) in microbial degradation of 2-chlorophenol (CP). Jatropha deoiled cakes (JDC) and Karanja deoiled cakes (KDC) are used as NABS. The potential of NABS is compared with standard biogenic substrate, glucose.
