The anaerobic metabolism of phenol, phloroglucinol, hydroquinone andp-cresol under methanogenic conditions was characterized. Anaerobic batch studies were carried out with inocula from a municipal sewage treatment plant digester. Substrate concentrations, gas formation and several intermediates formed during degradation were monitored over a period of more than a year. With acclimation of the microbial community to each of the phenolic compounds, the rates of metabolism and gas formation generally increased, except in the case ofp-cresol. Stoichiometric degradation of all four compounds to gaseous end products was observed. Acetate was present as a methanogenic precursor. Phloroglucinol, hydroquinone andp-cresol were metabolized to phenol prior to mineralization, indicating that dehydroxylation and demethylation takes place during the initial metabolic phase. Evidence suggests that demethylation is the rate limiting step for anaerobicp-cresol metabolism.
