โฆ Synopsis
A mixture of naphtalene, phenanthrene, anthracene, p-cresol, pentachlorophenol (PCP) and phenol, representing the major components of creosotes, was degraded by Phanerochaete chrysosporium. Intermediate products such as quinones did accumulate. A slight difference in biodegradation rates was observed between single, individual compounds and the same compounds in the mixture.

The phenol-degrading strain Pseudomonas putida EKII was isolated from a soil enrichment culture and utilized phenol up to 10.6 mM (1.0 g" 1 -1) as the sole source of carbon and energy. Furthermore, cresols, chlorophenols, 3,4-dimethylphenol, and 4-chloro-m-cresol were metabolized as sole substrates
