Abstract

Activated sludges before and after acclimation in the laboratory with phenol and 2-chlorophenol or a mixture of benzene, toluene, and o-, m-, and p-xylene, were immobilized in calcium alginate gel. Before acclimation, after acclimation, and at the end of 2-chlorophenol or benzene biodegradation studies, dilutions of blended gel beads were plated and all distinct colony types were isolated. A total of 54 isolates. © 1993, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.
