**5. Conclusions**

Bioremediation could be considered as the promising solution for numerous food industry wastes, and to date, several works are in progress to isolate new phenol-degrading strains. This work concurs to confirm the importance of microorganisms to degrade pollutants; we selected some promising bacterial isolates, showing some desired traits in lab media. Further investigations are required to improve our work, i.e., evaluation of waste, evaluation of the effect on BOD and COD, and a focus on the role of alkaline pH on the removal.
