Phenol tolerant bacteria were isolated from sewage treatment site. Sixteen bacterial colonies were isolated and tested in 100-500 mg/L of 2,4-Dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP). After screening, two isolates which showed high phenol resistances were selected. Both isolates, XC, and N3 were able to tolerate 200 mg/L of 2,4-DCP but isolate N3 tolerated 400 ...
