Abstract
Bacillus stearothermophilus BR219, isolated from river sediment, degraded phenol at levels to 15 mM at a rate of 0.85 .mu.mol/h (4 .times. 106 cells). The solubilized phenol hydroxylase was NADH dependent, exhibited at 55.degree. C temperature optimum for acitvity, and was not inhibited by 0.5 mM phenol.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
