RESUMO
Antisera were raised against nine strains which had been isolated from phenol-acclimated oil refinery activated sludge. Although several antisera reacted significantly with the activated sludge during a period of adaptation to phenol, only an antiserum against one of the isolates, Alcaligenes sp. E2, reacted with the activated sludge after the adaptation period. A kinetic pattern of phenol-oxygenating activity of the activated sludge after the adaptation period was similar to that of strain E2. These results suggest that a functionally important population in the phenol-digesting activated sludge was serologically identified.
