Abstract
Phenol was administered to landfill waste in concentrations from 150 to 1,000 ppm via the feed-liquor of lysimeter systems over an 18-week incubation period. Biotic contributions to phenol removal in the landfill waste were of greater significance than abiotic removal. The addition of phenol did not cause the isolation of thermophilic phenol degraders. Plates inoculated from the test lysimeter receiving phenol were eventually predominated by mesophilic phenol-degradingMicrococcus, Nocardia, andArthrobacter spp.; plates inoculated from the control lysimeter, receiving water, were predominated by species incapable of utilizing phenol.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
