The environment, as a consequence of industrial and agricultural revolutions, tends to harden with potentially carcinogenic and mutagenic halogen-substituted aromatic compounds. Phenol and its higher molecular homologues are dangerous environmental pollutants. Due to their toxic character, these molecules tend to accumulate in water and soil after being discharged without an adequate treatment. Phenol concentration greater than 50 ppb are toxic to some form of aquatic life and indigestion of 1gm of phenol can be fatal in human beings. Biological tools are substituted in pollution...

Phenol and its derivatives are most commonly found in wastewaters of many pharmaceutical, refinery, synthetic chemicals, paper and pulp industry and many such industries pose loads of adversities to aquatic, terrestrial and human life. These run off components are mandatory to be treated before being released into the food chain. Though many chemical procedures exist to treat phenols, biological degradation is a much safer and simpler means.
