Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is a recalcitrant compound that can sometimes be found in waste water. Improper disposal of PCP has led to its accumulation in the environment. Bioaccumulation of PCP not only poses a threat to human but its high toxicity and low biodegradability causes inhibition to bioremed...
