Isolation and identification of a novel strain of the genus Ochrobactrum with phenol-degrading activity

A bacterial strain AS1 belonging to the genus Ochrobactrum, was isolated from an enriched phenol-activated sludge in Egypt. This strain grew aerobically on phenol as the sole carbon source using the meta-cleavage pathway at high phenol-degrading rates compared with those in a previous report.
