Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The degradation of phenol by cells ofFusarium flocciferum immobilized by entrapment in agar, K — carrageenan, alginate and polyurethane, and by adsorption on preformed polyurethane foams was investigated. Entrapped and adsorbed cells in polyure —thane were able to degrade phenol up to 4g/l and 2.5g/l respectively with no loss of their activity under repetead use for more than two months.
