Phenol is a toxic compound that may be transformed into non-toxic compounds by the activity of microbial cells. The possibility of using biotransformation method for the degradation of phenol was studied using the whole cells of Rhodococcus UKMP-5M suspended in 250 mL shake flask with buffered liqui...
