Mecnikov National University», 2018.https://dspace.onu.edu.ua/handle/123456789/20729Pollution of the environment with aromatic hydrocarbons is a worldwide problem. In the process of destroying phenols in the environment, microorganisms play a major role. Microbiological detoxification of aromatic compounds is one of the most promising methods of environmental purification, during which the aromatic ring cleaves and the formation of non-toxic compounds, carbon dioxide and water occurs. Bacteria of the genus Bacillus are widespread in soils and reservoirs, play an important role in the processes of mineralization of organic compounds.enBacillus - aromaticcompounds destroyersbiological propertiesArticle
