The cow dung consortium (bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes) has also helpeddegrade phenol ranging from 100 to 1000 mg/L Table 2. The phenolic toxicant is convertedto nutrients, biomass, and CO2 via biodegradation through their intermediates. Thus, cowdungcan potentially beused in the petrochemical and chemical industries, generatingwaste-containing phenol compounds [31,37].
