An Isolated Candida albicans TL3 Capable of Degrading Phenol at Large Concentration.

The article describes the capability of an isolated Candida albicans TL3 to degrade phenol at large concentration. In decontamination of a polluted environment, the study considers biodegradation as an effective method. It found microorganisms including bacteria, yeasts, algae, and aquatic fungi to degrade phenol at various concentrations. It also evaluates the efficiency of candida albicans TL3 to treat waste water from a factory producing phenolic resin.
