Biodegradation of Phenolic Compounds Using an Indigenous Mixed Microbial Culture

Biological degradation has been advocated to be a better alternative for phenol degradation as opposed to other popular methods for wastewater treatment. Merites of biological treatment and demerites of other methods are also properly discussed in the thesis. ...
