On 2017 Oct 5, Ereqat SI, Abdelkader AA, Nasereddin AF, Al-Jawabreh AO, Zaid TM, Letnik I and Abdeen ZA published a new study in Journal of Environmental Science and Health Part A titled "Isolation and characterization of phenol degrading bacterium strain Bacillus thuringiensis J20 from olive waste in Palestine". This study aimed at isolation of phenol degrading bacteria from olive mill wastes in Palestine. The results showed that Phenol degradation efficiency of the immobilized cells of J20 was higher than that of the free cells, 100% versus 88.6% of 700 mg/L of phenol in 120 h, indicating the improved tolerance of the immobilized cells toward phenol toxicity.
