Phenol is hazardous aromatic pollutant which needs to be treated to reduce its hazardous effects. Bioremediation using bacteria which can form biofi lm offer an alternative wastewater treatment that is cheaper and environmentally safe. Eighteen strains of phenol-degrading and biofi lm-forming bacter...
