Key microbial populations involved in anaerobic degradation of phenol and p-cresol using different inocula

ConclusionsSyntrophorhabdus and bamA gene play relevant roles in anaerobic degradation of phenolics. Estimation of these components could serve as a fast screening tool to find the most acclimatized sludge to efficiently degrade mono-aromatic compounds.
