Identification of genes and pathways related to phenol degradation in metagenomic libraries from petroleum refinery wastewater.

Two fosmid libraries, totaling 13,200 clones, were obtained from bioreactor sludge of petroleum refinery wastewater treatment system. The library screening based on PCR and biological activity assays revealed more than 400 positive clones for phenol degradation. From these, 100 clones were randomly...
