Enrichment and Characterization of Microbial Consortium XY04 with High Phenol Tolerance and Biodegradation Capacity

Key Points

The aim is to enrich and characterize a microbial consortium that is highly tolerant to phenol and capable of biodegradation.
Isolation of microbial consortium XY04 from wastewater samples
Evaluation of tolerance to phenolic and formaldehyde pollutants
Assessment of biodegradation capacity in controlled conditions
Consortium XY04 showed high tolerance to phenol and formaldehyde concentrations
Demonstrated effectiveness in biodegrading these pollutants
Exhibited ability to adapt through community self-organization in response to pollution

Abstract

A highly efficient microbial consortium XY04 was obtained for phenolic and formaldehyde wastewater treatment, exhibiting tolerance to various environmental conditions and the ability to adapt to high-concentration pollution through community self-organization.
